Alegre Ballet Folklórico

Spring is coming soon! Read on about our competition in Austin and class news. Don't forget to stay home if you or your dancer is feeling sick!

Fifty of our talented dancers competed at the Bailes de Mi Tierra Folklorico Competition in Austin, TX, on February 15-16. Despite only having three weeks to prepare, we held our own against top groups who trained for months. Many of our entries narrowly missed the top three by just tenths of a point. It was a long but rewarding weekend, and we’re proud of everyone’s hard work!

Here are our placing entries:

With the semester starting up we want to remind people about dress code for classes.

Remember these are parts of the rules for classes and rehearsals, we expect you to follow them!

1. All black attire is required for all practices. Wear comfortable clothing so you’re able to stretch and move freely (no jeans, denim or street clothes).
2. Boots and a handkerchief will need to be brought to class regardless if we use them or not. If additional materials are needed you will be notified at the practice before to bring it.
3. Please use healthy personal hygiene.

1. All girls MUST have their hair up in a bun or you will not practice (no bangs, no ponytails).
2. All black attire is required for all practices. Wear comfortable clothing so you’re able to stretch and move freely (no jeans, denim or street clothes).
3. Shoes, skirt and handkerchief will need to be brought to class regardless if we use them or not. A reboso and a fan are required for Junior and all Adult classes as well. If additional materials are needed you will be notified at practice.
4. Please use healthy personal hygiene.

If you or your child is sick or getting sick, please stay at home! We are in close quarters and illness can spread quickly.

Thank you for thinking about the rest of the dancers and their families!

Please take notice of these two dates during Spring Break

• March 12 - No classes for the Children's classes
• March 15 - No classes for the Children or Infantil

Enjoy your Spring Break!

With warmer weather coming soon, we want dancers to stay hydrated. It's great to see so many people with their own mugs and bottles, but sometimes people forget them. We no longer "sell" water, but we need bottled water available if someone didn't bring their own. If you happen to be at the store, we would appreciate a case of water donated to the group.

Just remember to dispose of your bottles when you leave!

Speaking of left over water...

We have unfinished bottled water left behind all the time. We don't like wasting the water, so we would like to have a couple of plants to use the left over water on. Please keep in mind we need plants to water frequently, not once or twice a month. 😊

We are preparing for our Annual Raffle. This is to make the funds to do all the extra things we need; vestuario, picnics, dinners, awards, etc. We are looking for prizes to be donated by you and/or people you know. Some of you may work for a company that can donate a prize, or money to purchase a prize. Perhaps you know someone who can donate a service as a prize as well. Please see the flyer for donation suggestions, we are open to suggestions.

Remember all donations are a tax deduction!
