The mission of the Ambassadors International Ballet Folklorico dance organization is to promote and disseminate the Hispanic and Texan Culture and to promote cultural exchanges between the Hispanic community and the people of the various cultures in our City of Houston, State of Texas and United States of America. To achieve and accomplish these goals, the Ambassadors International Ballet Folklorico dance organization teaches the traditional cultural dance of Latino countries around the world to youth and adults, Hispanic and non-Hispanic alike, and showcases these dances through the presentation of programs in collaboration with the local educational institutions, corporations, foundations and local neighborhoods. These programs include a diverse annual citywide parades, citywide forums, community festivals and various local community workshops.
AIBF - the "A" is for adapt!!
AIBF has encountered many challenges over the past 42 years, but none quite like the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has presented in 2020. We are so proud of our administration, maestros, families and dancers for coming together during these times to adapt and find creative ways to continue our mission and doing what we love to do most - teaching and learning ballet folklorico!
While we continue to monitor the evolving COVID-19 situation in Houston, AIBF has decided to move its weekly practices to an outside plaza in the heart of East End Houston for the forseeable future. It is with great pride that we made this decision knowing that not only does it allow us to safely continue our programming, but it also gives us the opportunity to showcase the heart and soul of the Hispanic culture every Monday and Wednesday evening to our community that has supported us for so long.
All families, dancers and maestros adhere to the City of Houston's mask ordinance and are able to safely practice outdoors, socially distant with tarimas (shallow wooden boxes).
The health and safety of our dancers and families is our number one priority and will continue to be as we navigate these uncertain times with our city and country.
