Ballet Folklórico de Ecuador de Luis Beltrán

Talking about native music and traditional dances of our past, is to talk really of our cultural identity, is to be closer to the comunities that still have and respect their roots the we can be related to their own way to show the culture, and we can understand their social behaviour, to evaluate their main role in history and their unpaired fight to preserve that pluricultural inheritage that stills keep their force inspite of all the continous alienation that has supported through the years.

The presence of BALLET FOLKLÓRICO DE ECUADOR DE LUIS BELTRAN, (originally was born as Comuneros Ballet Folklórico Nacional) gives a tribute to all those native comunities, to their own songs dances and manners through the scenic interpretation of the way they live and their traditions so own as their race and so beautiful as their culture, a true essence of our identity.

There are several badges that the ballet has received from its birth in 1989. Their investigation work and high interpretive quality in the diffusion of our culture, located it, according to The Agency of Shows Tip-Mexico like “one of the outstanding ones of their gender and representative of the new generation of Ecuadorian artists” (Ultimas Noticias Daily July 22th 2005). In 2004 they were declared “The character of the year and one of the most noted dance groups in the Country" (La Hora Daily January 2nd 2005).
