Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico – The renowned Xiutla Municipal Folkloric Dance Group will celebrate 31 years of cultural excellence with a special performance on Thursday, July 31 at 7:00 pm at Teatro Vallarta.
Founded on July 27, 1994, by Professor Enrique Barrios y Limón, Xiutla – named after the Nahuatl word meaning “place where grass grows” – has grown from a small children’s program into a respected cultural institution. With unwavering support from the municipal government, Barrios y Limón has spent more than three decades nurturing generations of young dancers, passing down the rich traditions of Mexican folklore.
Xiutla’s dedication to preserving and promoting Mexican traditions has taken them far beyond Puerto Vallarta.

Their extensive repertoire, covering regional dances from all corners of Mexico, is a testament to their commitment to authenticity and excellence.

Each performance promises to be a captivating window into Mexico’s rich cultural tapestry, brought to life with the passion and dedication of Xiutla’s young artists.
