From the reviews
We really recommend BFT for anyone who wants to learn how to dance traditional dances from México. Our daughter loves it.
My daughter has been dancing here since 2021. This was one of the few dance studios that kept their doors open during covid allowing kids to still have an extra curricular activity during that time. All of the dance instructors are extremely patient with my daughter who has learning disabilities.
We’ve had an amazing experience here! The instructors are talented and supportive, and the performances are always stunning. My daughter has grown so much in confidence and skill. So thankful we found this dance family! ❤️
We love BFT, it’s a great school and we’re beyond proud to be a part of it! My granddaughter loves to dance and learn about her culture and what better way than dancing!
Your first ballet class at Ballet Folklorico Tayahua
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
