Ballet Folklórico Los Angelitos is more than just a dance program; it is a transformative experience for children at Casa Hogar Los Angelitos. Founded by Nancy Nystrom in 2007, it is part of her efforts to provide unique opportunities for the children. Through cultural dance, children gain confidence, discipline, and a sense of belonging. This program preserves cultural heritage and profoundly impacts participants, fostering personal growth and community pride.
The mission of Ballet Folklórico Los Angelitos is to use the power of dance to heal, inspire, and empower children. By engaging in cultural dance, children develop essential life skills, build self-esteem, and connect with their heritage, all within a supportive and nurturing environment.
Ballet Folklórico Los Angelitos is dedicated to preserving and celebrating Mexican cultural heritage. Children learn traditional dances that connect them to their roots and instill a sense of pride in their identity.
Through rigorous training and performance opportunities, children gain confidence, discipline, and a sense of accomplishment. The program teaches valuable life skills that extend beyond the dance floor, helping children succeed in various aspects of their lives.
The discipline and skills learned in the dance program open doors to future opportunities. Many former participants have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in the arts, becoming role models for their peers and ambassadors of their culture.
I realized during the early years of this work that providing nutrition for hungry children was life-saving and important. Empty stomachs need to be filled…. However, I knew that we needed to do more than rescue children and fill their stomachs. We needed to fill their hearts and their minds as well.
Many children who participate in Ballet Folklórico Los Angelitos come from challenging backgrounds. Through dance, they find a positive outlet for their energy and emotions, leading to significant improvements in their self-esteem, academic performance, and overall well-being.
