A single dance in the town square changes the direction of Amalia Hernández’s life.
As a child, Amalia is captivated by dancers who stomp, sway, and move with rhythm and beauty. She grows up studying ballet and modern dance, then travels through Mexico learning regional dances. By blending those traditions for the stage, she creates El Ballet Folklórico de México, a company that brings Mexican dance to audiences around the world.
Danza! introduces young readers to a groundbreaking dancer and choreographer through lively storytelling and Duncan Tonatiuh’s bold, Mixtec-inspired artwork. It is a celebration of movement, culture, creativity, and the power of honoring tradition in new ways.
