Embark on the ultimate Mexican cultural journey with our premium Mariachi and Dance Cultural Package. This comprehensive experience combines two of Mexico's most iconic cultural expressions—traditional dance and mariachi music—into one unforgettable day of immersion and celebration.
Begin with a professional dance workshop where you'll learn the fundamentals of traditional Mexican dance styles, particularly those that pair with mariachi music, such as Jarabe Tapatío and dances from Jalisco. Then, experience the magic of live mariachi as a professional ensemble performs and explains the history and significance of this UNESCO-recognized cultural heritage.
The experience culminates in a joyous celebration where you'll have the opportunity to dance to live mariachi music, bringing together everything you've learned in an authentic fiesta atmosphere.
This cultural package takes place at the Hacienda Cultural Center, a beautifully restored 19th-century hacienda located just outside Guadalajara in the heart of Jalisco, the birthplace of mariachi music and many traditional Mexican dances.
The Mariachi and Dance Cultural Package is our most comprehensive cultural experience, designed to provide a well-rounded immersion into two complementary aspects of Mexican cultural heritage. This premium package is ideal for those seeking a deeper understanding of Mexican traditions through active participation.
Your dance instructors are certified by Mexico's National Institute of Fine Arts and have extensive experience both performing and teaching traditional Mexican dance forms. The mariachi ensemble features musicians who have been performing together for at least 5 years, with many having family traditions in mariachi music spanning generations.
This experience is designed for all skill levels, with no prior dance or musical experience required. Our instructors are experts at adapting the lessons to suit participants' abilities while ensuring everyone has an enjoyable and educational experience.
The restored 19th-century hacienda that hosts this experience offers a stunning backdrop for your cultural immersion. With original architectural features, beautiful gardens, and dedicated performance spaces, the venue enhances the authenticity of your experience while providing modern amenities for comfort.
We booked this package to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, and it exceeded all our expectations. The dance instruction was fun and accessible, and the mariachi performance brought tears to our eyes. The meal was exceptional, and the entire staff made us feel like family.
As someone who loves both music and dance, this package was perfect. The mariachi musicians were world-class, and they took time to explain the different instruments and musical styles. The dance instruction was paced perfectly for beginners, and by the end, we were all dancing with confidence!
The quality of instruction and the mariachi performance were outstanding. My only suggestion would be to perhaps break this into two half-days as it's quite an intense (though enjoyable) day. The food was excellent and the hacienda setting is beautiful.
Transportation is not included in the base package price. However, we can arrange roundtrip transportation from central Guadalajara for an additional fee. Please contact us in advance to arrange this service.
