"Amalia Hernández was a pioneer in ballet folkorico. She experimented with traditional Mexican dances that were originally meant to for religious purposes seen by Hernandez infusion of Mexican folk legends with ballet influences, such as pointed toes, exaggerated movements, and highly choreographed routines. Hernandez was able to shift the dances from their religious purposes, not meant to be watched, into the theatrical production that ballet folkorico is known for today, through ballet influences and regions folklore. Hernandez has become a cultural ambassador for Mexico through her work with the dance troupe, choreographing more than forty different ballets that covered sixty regions of Mexico.It was until her death in 2000 at the age of 84, that the troupe gained a new director her grandson Salvador López. The repertoire maintains the traditional dances although somewhat updated with the choreography of López. Dances include the Jarabe tapatío, the Deer Dance and the Aztecs/Concheros. It also has “new” dances such as Adelitas, which honors the women of the Mexican Revolution. The group has performed over 15,000 times in sixty counties and 300 cities in Europe, Asia and Latin America. It has an average of 250 performances per year.[7]"

Since there is already a Wikipedia page on Amalia Hernández, maybe it would be better to insert an internal link to her page in your previous paragraph, and shorten this one to focus on this section of ballet folkorico.Jamiewang47 (talk) 17:13, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

In the sentences "n addition, a number of European dances, music and instruments were introduced including Moros y cristianos (a mock battle between Moors and Christians brought t the central states), Los Archos, Las Escadas, Los Machetes, El Paloteo, Las Cintas and Los Doce Pares. Other European dances include La Zambra, La Zarabanda, La Contradanza, seguidillas, fandangos, huapangos, jotas, boleros, zambras and zapateados." try to add external links to the things that Wikipedia doesn't have internal pages for. I think the second paragraph of the "History" section is also a bit long and could be broken up into smaller paragraphs. In the first section of "Danza de los Voladores (Dance of the Flyers) is a dance/ceremony/ritual," the "dance/ceremony/ritual" doesn't sound professional, probably one term could be picked. Other than that, I think the sections you added are really detailed and thorough and just need some more citations. Ilena p (talk) 17:26, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
