<p>St. Edward&#8217;s University Ballet Folklorico will bring the sights and sounds of Mexico&#8217;s traditional folklorico dances and songs to the King&#8217;s College campus for a public performance, titled &#8220;Noche Folklorica,&#8221; at 7 p.m. March 16, on the third floor of the Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center.</p><p>The performance will include the dances of Tamaulipas Polkas, in which dancers perform in costumes, reflecting the resilient Mexican tradition of the vaquero &#8211; the cowboy. During dances of Sinaloa, men dance with strong knee-high steps, dipping and breaking to the side, while women emphasize femininity. Additional dances include traditional Concheros, folk melodies of Veracruz, and the slower mariachi tempos of Puebla.</p><p>The Ballet Folklorico, a student organization, was established in 2002 at St. Edward&#8217;s University to preserve and show appreciation for the Mexican culture. The group previously received first place in the Amusement Division of the Battle of the Flowers Parade. St. Edward&#8217;s University, founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross, is a private, Catholic, liberal arts university located in Austin, Texas.</p><p>Admission is free for college students and children younger than 8 years old, and general admission costs $5. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center is located between North Main and Franklin streets.
