Ballet Folklórico de Nette Shultz

Thank you to one of my amazing Moms, Drommie Yancey, who organized this wonderful celebration at one of our local parks to celebrate our 22nd season! I will miss this special group of talented 5th graders! 🥹They are a very special group, as they were our first winners when we attended the North Texas Ballet Folklórico competition for the first time in 2025 (when they were 4th graders)! They earned Best Large Group Ensemble for the elementary school level! 🫶🏼❤️

Our final performance for the 2025-2026 school year was at Ryan High School. The 3rd-5th graders performed as well as the other folklórico in the Ryan zone! It was a great way to end the dancing season!

Out of order but in late April, some of the dancers performed at the Denton Council of PTAs Denton Dash!

After the dancers performed at the TWU Mariachi & Folklórico Festival (posted on April 11th), we had a BIG change. The city did not have a Denton 5 de Mayo celebration (a long standing tradition), but the students were invited to participate, along with other Denton schools, at the 5 de Mayo celebration at El Zócalo Food Truck park off the Denton Square! All grades were able to participate! It was a great day!

Busy end of year! After our competition, dancers were invited to a few events. I have to start off by saying that I am so proud of my dancers! Rehearsal came to a screeching halt when I suffered a fractured leg! Thankful for my Co-Director, Mr. Colón and parents who stepped up to make sure our group continued to participate in community events! First up, at the end of March, the dancers participated Multicultural Night at McNair Elementary (the day before my accident)!

Come out and support our dancers and other Denton ISD and local folklórico groups! Performances start at 11:30 am!

Our dancers have been busy! Last weekend some of our 3rd-5th graders participated in the TWU Mariachi & Folklórico Festival! It’s a great opportunity to participate along with other Folklórico groups and high school & collegiate mariachi! Our K-2nd graders performed at our school’s Fine Arts Night this past Thursday! Some of our 5th graders also lead a workshop, teaching a piece of one of their dances! Super proud! Thankful to Mr. Colón, Mrs. Galindo, parent volunteers & 5th grade girls for stepping in while I am out with my injury! Couldn’t ask for a better team! 💚💙 Mustang pride! Denton ISD Fine Arts Nette Shultz Elementary School
