From the reviews
We love this folklorico academy! My child has been going to Ollin Yoliztli for 3 years now and loves it! The instructors are patient, have high expectations and truly care about each student. They are very knowledgeable about everything they are teaching plus the history behind everything they do.
My daughter has been attending Ollin Yoliztli Dance Academy for almost six months and she absolutely loves it! I had researched several baile folclórico schools and definitely made the right choice with Ollin Yoliztli.
We are blessed to find Ollin Yolizti Academy for my daughter. The moment that she had a free session (3years ago ) she found in love with the dance. My daughter is biracial and hardly speaks any Spanish but she had a calling for it; Now she loves the heritage and culture, and what is a better way to learn it from…
27 years and counting! This school’s legacy of high-quality, traditional Mexican folklore dance instruction is a treasure for our community. I’m so proud to be part of it
Your first ballet class at Ollin Yoliztli Dance Academy
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.
