Vancouver Ballet Folklórico (VBF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing traditional Mexican dance and culture. Founded nearly 12 years ago in Vancouver, Washington, VBF has grown through dedication, transformation, and deep community involvement.
Under the passionate leadership of Anna Cruz, the group has become a cornerstone of local cultural events—especially known for its Day of the Dead celebrations. Anna’s tireless commitment, alongside her two daughters and a devoted team, has earned her several accolades, including the Keeper of the Culture Award, the 2024 Iris Awards, and the Latino Art BRAVO Award.
VBF’s mission is to inspire and engage Hispanic youth by offering free access to traditional dance training, creative expression, and cultural education—building both personal growth and community pride.
