Ballet Folklorico de Detroit Wins 1st place at the National Folklorico Competition

Local dance group offers free concert to thank the community for its support

Ballet Folklórico De Detroit (BFD) announced that it is hosting a family friendly “Holiday Celebration” concert in Southwest Detroit on Sunday, December 17. The concert promises to be a great time for all ages and will feature the dancers of BFD performing historically authentic Mexican folkloric dances.

This past March, BFD attended Competencia Folklorica de Tejas where they were able to win 1st and 2nd place trophies in the small group competition (10 dancers competed). They will “give back” by presenting those dances free of charge to the community that supported them.

“Our community has always been there when we needed them. When we needed a space to practice, we were offered space. When we needed funds to be able to present these historically accurate dances in the historically accurate costumes our sponsors supported us. And this past spring, when we feared not being able to attend the competition due to an increase in costs, the community helped us raise the money through a GO FUND ME campaign. Because of that support, we were able compete against hundreds of other dancers and to bring back to Detroit 1st and 2nd place trophies in the small group category,” said Lance Rodriguez, founder and director of BFD.

“I am so proud of these kids. They worked hard to be able to master the needed techniques to win. One of my great memories of the competition took place right after we danced when fellow dancers and spectators reached out to me to congratulate us on a job well done. Often commenting that they had no idea Folklorico was taking place so far north,” Rodriguez said.

Lance Rodriguez, a Kresge fellow, donates his time five nights a week to BFD. A southwest Detroit native, Rodriguez has participated in folklorico since the age of three. He stated that as an English-speaking great-grandson of Mexican immigrants, learning folklorico dance offered him an opportunity to connect to his heritage, learn that hard work and dedication is needed for improvement and that sharing his culture with his community is important and rewarding.

“Although I didn’t really realize it at the time, growing up in Southwest Detroit offered me a unique chance to connect with and share my heritage,” Rodriguez said. “For me, practices and performances were about having fun with my friends. I didn’t understand that I was also developing skills that would help me throughout my life. Folklorico also offered me unique opportunities. It was because of my participation in folklorico that I was able to perform at The White House and participate in competition in Mexico. I will never forget those life changing experiences. Truthfully, sharing my art with the next generation gives me joy and a sense of fulfillment,” he stated.

“Deciding to put forth the effort and funding to take the dancers to competition was a huge commitment,” Rodriguez explained, “I was worried but it was a risk we decided to take together.

Because of it, we have grown stronger as a team and have become better dancers. It is difficult to explain the difference it has made in the team’s willingness to work harder together. Each year we have new students who’ve never attended competition earn the opportunity to compete.

I wish you could see the students’ determination and the expression on their faces when they realize that there is an entire community of similar kids who practice daily to express their heritage through dance,” Rodriguez stated. “We are very excited for this year’s concert; we expect a near capacity crowd. My dancers are practicing extra diligently to give their best. I am very proud of their efforts.”

The “Holiday Celebration” concert will take place from 3-5PM on Sunday, December 17 at the Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. Detroit, MI. Refreshments, tee-shirts, and other fun activities will be available. General seating is available on a first-come – first-served basis until full capacity. Doors open at 2:30 PM. You may register for tickets on the website: https://bfdetroit.org/annual-concert

El Ballet Folklórico de Detroit se llevó el 1er lugar en el National Folklorico Dance

El Grupo de danza, se presentará totalmente gratis como agradecimiento a la comunidad

El Ballet Folclórico De Detroit (BFD) ha anunciado un concierto familiar de celebración navideña, en el suroeste de Detroit el domingo 17 de diciembre. El concierto promete ser un gran espectáculo para todas las edades y contará con bailarines del BFD interpretando auténticas Danzas folclóricas mexicanas.

El pasado marzo, el BFD participó en la Competencia Folclórica de Texas, donde pudieron ganar los trofeos del 1° y 2° lugar en la competencia de grupos pequeños (10 bailarines). Ellos retribuirán el apoyo de la comunidad, de forma gratuita, con la presentación de su danza.

“Nuestra comunidad siempre ha estado ahí cuando la necesitábamos. Cuando necesitábamos un espacio para practicar, nos ofrecieron espacio. Cuando necesitábamos fondos para poder presentar los bailes históricos precisos con los auténticos trajes, nuestros patrocinadores nos apoyaron. Y la primavera pasada, cuando temíamos no poder asistir a la competencia debido a un aumento en los costos, la comunidad nos ayudó a recaudar los fondos a través de una campaña GO FUND ME. Gracias a ese apoyo, pudimos competir contra cientos de bailarines y traer de regreso a Detroit los trofeos del primero y segundo lugar en la categoría de grupos pequeños”, dijo Lance Rodríguez, fundador y director de BFD.

“Estoy muy orgulloso de estos niños. Trabajaron duro para poder dominar las técnicas necesarias para ganar. Uno de mis mejores recuerdos de la competencia tuvo lugar justo después de bailar, cuando compañeros bailarines y espectadores se acercaron a mí para felicitarnos por el gran trabajo. Varios comentaron que no tenían idea de que el baile Folclórico se estaba llevando a cabo tan al norte”, dijo Rodríguez.

Lance Rodríguez, miembro de Kresge, dona su tiempo cinco noches a la semana a BFD. Es originario del suroeste de Detroit, Rodríguez ha participado en la danza folclórica desde los tres años. Comentó que como bisnieto de inmigrantes mexicanos de habla inglesa, aprender danza folclórica le ofreció la oportunidad de conectarse con su herencia, aprender que se necesita trabajo duro y dedicación para mejorar y que compartir su cultura con su comunidad es importante y gratificante.

“Aunque realmente no me di cuenta en ese momento; crecer en el suroeste de Detroit me ofreció una oportunidad única de conectarme y compartir mi herencia”, dijo Rodríguez. “Para mí, las prácticas y presentaciones consistían en divertirme con mis amigos. No entendía que también estaba desarrollando habilidades que me ayudarían a lo largo de mi vida. El ballet Folclórico también me ofreció oportunidades únicas y fue gracias a mi participación en esta danza que pude presentarme en La Casa Blanca y también participar en competencias en México. Nunca olvidaré esas experiencias que cambiaron mi vida. Sinceramente, compartir mi arte con la próxima generación me da alegría y una sensación de plenitud”, afirmó.

“Decidir poner el esfuerzo y el financiamiento para llevar a los bailarines a la competencia fue un compromiso enorme”, explicó Rodríguez, “estaba preocupado pero era un riesgo que decidimos tomar juntos.

Gracias a ello nos hemos fortalecido como equipo y nos hemos convertido en mejores bailarines. Es difícil explicar la diferencia que ha marcado en la voluntad del equipo de trabajar más duro en conjunto. Cada año tenemos nuevos estudiantes que nunca han asistido a una competencia y que tienen la oportunidad de competir.

Ojalá pudieran ver la determinación de los estudiantes y la expresión en sus rostros cuando se dan cuenta de que hay toda una comunidad de niños similares que practican diariamente para expresar su herencia a través de la danza”, afirmó Rodríguez. “Estamos muy emocionados por el concierto de este año y se espera llenar el teatro. Mis bailarines están practicando mucho para dar lo mejor de sí. Estoy muy orgulloso de sus esfuerzos”.

El concierto Holiday Celebration se llevará a cabo de 3 a 5 p. m. el domingo 17 de diciembre en el Teatro Senate, 6424 Michigan Ave. Detroit, MI. Habrá refrescos, camisetas y otras actividades divertidas disponibles. Los asientos generales están disponibles por orden de llegada hasta completar la capacidad. Las puertas se abrirán a las 2:30 p.m. Puede registrarse para obtener entradas en el sitio web: https://bfdetroit.org/annual-concert
