Award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh tells the story of Amalia Hernández, dancer and founder of El Ballet Folklórico de México. As a child, Amalia Hernández saw a pair of dancers in the town square. The way they stomped and swayed to the rhythm of the beat inspired her. She knew one day she would become a dancer. Amalia studied ballet and modern dance under the direction of skilled teachers who had performed in world-renowned dance companies. But she never forgot the folk dance she had seen years earlier. She began traveling through the Mexican countryside, witnessing the dances of many regions, and she used her knowledge of ballet and modern dance to adapt the traditional dances to the stage. She founded her own dance company, a group that became known as el Ballet Folklórico de México. Using his signature illustration style, inspired by the ancient art of the Mixtecs, award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh tells the story of Amalia Hernández and the formation of the Folkloric Ballet, one of the most famous and successful dance companies in the world.

Amalia (ah-

MAH

-lee-ah) Hern ndez

was born in Mexico City in

1917, and everyone assumed she would grow up to be a schoolteacher

like her mother and her grandmother. Even Ami ( AH -me), as everyone

called her, expected that.

But one afternoon while her family was on vacation, Ami saw a pair of

dancers in a town square. They stomped and swayed to the live music.

The

danzas

that they performed had been danced by people of that area

for generations. Ami was hooked. She made a decision: she was going to

become a dancer herself.
