Ballet Folklórico El "Valle" de St. Helena is a non-profit community group founded in 2010 by Alicia Sanchez (Martinez) with the mission to rescue, spread, and showcase Mexican folklore through dance. This dance is deeply rooted in our ancestral origins, where traditions and body language transform into artistic expression.
Today, the Ballet Folklórico El “Valle” de St. Helena group has performed in numerous events all around California. The dance group performs dances from many different regions of Mexico such as Oaxaca, Sinaloa, Jalisco and much more.
