Events
In addition to our own presentations, the Ballet Folklorico de Stanford performs at
many events throughout the school year. We collaborate with El Centro Chicano y Latino, the Catholic
Community, and other on-campus organizations to provide these events to the community
at Stanford and beyond.
El Concierto de la Primavera
Our annual show, El Concierto de la Primavera is a culmination of our hard work
throughout the year. Featuring all the regions we have learned as well as El
Mariachi Cardenal de Stanford, Concierto is traditionally held during Memorial
Day Weekend.
Dia De Los Muertos
An annual celebration held by El Centro Chicano y Latino to commemorate the Mexican holiday
of the Day of the Dead. With teatro, folklorico, mariachi, and danza, we commemorate
those who have passed on before us.
Virgen de Guadalupe Mass
Beginning in 2003, we have performed after the Virgen de Guadalupe Mass in
Memorial Church. Our dancers also participated in the liturgy in the procession
with the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
La Gran Posada
Held by El Centro Chicano, La Gran Posada re-enacts the search of Mary and
Joseph for shelter in the inns of Bethelehem. Stopping at each of the ethnic
theme dorms, the procession enjoys performances by Mariachi Cardenal and
Ballet Folklorico as well as singing traditional songs. The procession ends
in a celebration at El Centro Chicano
Winter Community Banquet
Our first group-hosted event is the Parent and Alumni Banquet held in Winter Quarter.
A night of good food and good folklorico, this event is open to the public as well as
the Stanford community.
This year our community banquet will take place in Toyon Hall on March 14th at 6PM. Link to Facebook coming soon!
Other Small Performances
We also perform at a variety of other show and events around campus throughout the year. Some of these are within Comunidad such as during Raza Day or Mariachi Cardenal de Stanford's spring show. Others reach the greater Stanford community and more at events like Stanford Parent's Weekend Entertainment Extravaganza and performances at local schools. Contact our performance coordinator if you would like us to perform at your event!
