Shamanic ritual passed down or inspired by ceremonies of Indigenous peoples. Hat dances in the flamboyant Spanish tradition. Sultry ballroom adagio. Your typical evening with the Ballet Folklórico de México on its home stage at the stunning Palacio de Bellas Artes, in Mexico City, serves up samplers that include all these things—plus numbers that rival the sweep of the Bolshoi, the filigree of the Royal Danes, the eroticism of Martha Graham, and who knows what else. For technique, personality, versatility, and showmanship, the ensemble is in a league of its own. Appearances stateside, once frequent, are all too rare. Don’t miss this one in the perfect showcase for the company’s high populist art. —Matthew Gurewitsch
