The "Mexican Culture Week" will be held from September 24-30, 2011 at Delinhua Stage of Xi’an International Horticulture Expo 2011, with the Ballet Folklorico of Mexico as the leading performer.

This dance group will be led by the director and choreographer professor, Dolores Olivier Menchaca, a famous cultural ambassador of Mexico.

The Ballet Folklorico of Mexico was initiated by the Mexican government in 1987, with the objective of rescuing the history and folklore of its traditional dances and promoting them not only in Mexico, but throughout the world.

Formed by young dancers, 18 to 35 years of age, the Ballet Folklorico is one of the most important groups of folkloric dances in Mexico.

The shows will be held three times everyday at 11 am, 4 pm and 6 pm.
