Folklore Mexicano features the Leyenda Dance Company, a ballet folklorico group based in Los Angeles that specializes in dances from many regions of Mexico. Each dance is based on ethnological and anthropological studies conducted through travel throughout Mexico and interaction with the various ethnic groups and master teachers from those areas.
