Ollimpaxqui Ballet
Ollimpaxqui means joyful movement in Nahuati, the language of the Aztecs. The
company has performed throughout the US and Mexico. The company was
founded in 1985 by artistic director Eduardo Gutierrez, featured dancer of the
Anita Martinez Folkloric Ballet of Dallas.
From the pre-Columbian rituals of the Aztecs, to the colorful music of the Bamba from Veracruz with its picturesque ribbon-tying ceremony, to the solemnity and drama of Sonora's Deer Dance, to the eloquent dancing of Nayarit and Michoacan, to the songs and traditions of the other distinctive regions of this exciting country, you will embark on a never-to-be-forgotten journey.
You will experience a joyful extravaganza that will thrill and delight you and provide cultural and educational insight into our increasingly important neighbor, Mexico.
