MISSION

organization dedicated to the research, preservation, presentation, and education of
indigenous and mestizo culture as well as other related folklore within the realm of
dance, music, and the visual arts.
VISION
ANGF was established in Albuquerque, New México in 1973 as a united international
association to serve as a voice for the promotion and preservation of Mexican folklore
traditions. We aim to actively pursue the research, education, and artistic representation
of the rich dance, music, and folk art traditions of Mexico. We also aims to promote
and generate a greater understanding of interrelated folk cultural traditions through
our organization. We are here to serve our communities through our distinct culture,
educational goals, and outreach endeavors. We acknowledge that it is through collective
dialogue and communal practices that we can actively advance the edification of our
history, traditions and other goals set forth by ANGF’s founding fathers.

South Texas will serve as Folklórico Headquarters for
ANGF’s 39th Annual Congreso Nacional on the shores of
Corpus Christi from June 30 – July 7, 2012. The American
Bank Center will be the host facility to more than 600
dancers, directors, teachers, sponsors, vendors and guests
from across the United States and México.
CONFERENCE
Movement classes are instructed by masters of the art of
la Danza Folklórica Mexicana. Each maestro specializes in
history and dance from their native regions of México. In
addition to the adult movement class, the Desarrollo class,
(specifically for teachers and youth from 9-12 years of age),
introduces and solidifies the basics of folklórico in a fun
and creative method to increase retention value. Featured
classes for 2012 will be from the Mexican regions of Chiapas,
Sonora, Guanajuato, Estado de México, Michoacán, and
Veracruz.
Networking at the Director’s Gathering
Each year Group Directors and instructors are provided
the time and opportunity to network and learn from each
other in their best interest, add their input about ANGF
programs and have the opportunity to join a Committee
of ANGF and solidify the improvements of ANGF’s offerings
and well as promote ANGF to states that aren’t currently
represented at the Congreso.
Corpus Christi – “the Sparkling City by the Bay”

American Bank Center complex of
meeting and entertainment venues
and was originally built in 1979.

With seating for over 2,500 and
an outstanding acoustical rating,
the American Bank Center Selena
Auditorium has been one of the most
attended venues for entertainment in
the Coastal Bend area.
The 2004 renovation
and expansion includes an
entrance to the grand lobby
off of Shoreline Boulevard
and a revitalized entrance
from the stairways on the
Chapparral Street side.
Second level access has
been developed, allowing
event attendees to move
from the auditorium to the
arena or convention center
with ease.
In 1996, the auditorium
3
was named for the late Tejano
entertainer, Selena Quintanilla -
Perez, known simply as “Selena” to her
adoring fans. Known for her powerful
voice, sexy dance moves, and unique
costume designs, Selena was the No. 1
female Latino star in the United States
and Mexico before her untimely death
on March 31, 1995, in Corpus Christi,
Texas at the age of 23.
