Hands down, one of the best attractions in Mexico City! You will be treated to amazing performances of a myriad of indigenous dances. The building itself is gorgeous, and the sets, the costumes, the dancers and the choreography are world-class. An unforgettable experience in Mexico City!

According to our plan we had only sunday morning availability and this was the best thing to do I think. The choreography,dance,dancers, the building itself and the costumes were just brilliant. I am so glad that we find time to see this show, I would definitely recommend it.

So energetic! Dancers really give it all. Dances are varied and setting is very nice. I was lucky enough to see it in the 3rd row.

It appears that this show is given on a regular basis on Sunday morning and Wednesdays evening and that the dances are regulary changed. On the show we went (March 2013) had the best expression of Mexican folklore. We went for 1st rank tickets which were worth every peso as we had an spectacular view.

I've seen them perform 3 times at least in my life and each time they just get better, my happiness at seeing them bigger. If you can, do see it at... More

We attended on my husband's birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed it. You get a small taste of the different dances of some of the regions in Mexico. We were on the top floor and we missed some of what was going on at the back of the stage. I would think the best seats are in the middle because you... More

This should not be missed if you appreciate dance. Two hours of non stop high intensity dancing by a fabulous troupe of young dancers. Vivid colors and melodious music go with it. One of the best dance shows anywhere.
