Colibri Mexican Folkdance UK

Colibri Mexican Folkdance UK Manchester’s only authentic Mexican Folkdance Group. We are very proud to promote the traditional dances of our beautiful country.

We are an established group of native Mexicans showcasing traditional Mexican dance throughout the North West and beyond. Magaly Flores, Colibri's Artistic Director, was born in Coyuca de Catalan, Guerrero, Mexico. She is a qualified Art teacher in Mexico, specialising in Dance Education. After finishing her degree, she joined the Dance Research Centre (Centro de Investigacion de la Danza), which

investigated and helped resurrect and protect the culture of many regional folk dances across Mexico. She taught dance courses at different schools and universities, and collaborated with several leading dance directors and producers, including Efrain Velez, David Moyoa and Juan Carranza. She says of this period : "What fascinated me at the time about folk dance was talking with the dancers in the villages, understanding what a piece of folk dance means to the community, and getting involved in the town’s fiesta's." Upon moving to the UK, Maria performed many traditional folk dances on behalf of the Mexican Embassy at numerous special cultural events across the South East. She also acted as a practical consultant to Rosamund Shreeves in her research updating her bestselling publication “Children Dancing”, which Amazon.co.uk describes as being “widely acclaimed as a source book of ideas for schools, community groups and all those working creatively with children”. She is currently working full time in the primary education sector, promoting both the Spanish language and wider Mexican culture.She is also using her experience as a professionally trained dancer to deliver dance classes at many after-school clubs. Maria's aim as artistic director is to help ensure that these dances are performed and shared with the next generation. If you have a forthcoming event that you would like us to perform at then please feel free to get in touch. We also offer tailored dance workshops for schools linked to the National Curriculum. We meet and rehearse every Wednesday at St Georges Community Centre, Bothwell Road, Manchester M40 7NY from 730pm to 9pm. For further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
