Since its founding in 1982, the Mexican Folkloric Dance Company of Chicago (MFDC) has dedicated itself to showcasing the splendors of Mexican art and culture that resonate in the diverse, thrilling, and inspiring folkloric dance works. The folkloric dance performances of the MFDC reflect Mexico's rich history, which shaped the traditional arts, culture, and values of Mexico. The historical periods that are revealed in the dances include pre-Columbian indigenous times, Spanish Colonial Period, Struggle for Independence and the 1910 Mexican Revolution.
This complex history is also the story of many cultural influences merging with the ancient and glorious indigenous cultures of Mexico. The mixture of all these cultural elements has served to develop a grand archive of Mexican folkloric dance with its inspiring music and rich attire.
