The history of Mexican immigrants moving to the United States can be traced back to around 1900, when changes in the border between the United States and Mexico led to a large number of Mexicans migrating to the southwestern United States, including Phoenix. The Mexican community continued to expand, and these people came from Mexico or nearby states such as New Mexico. After the mid-20th century, with the development and expansion of the manufacturing industry, Phoenix had a higher demand for labor, so more Mexican immigrants poured into Phoenix, forming today's large Mexican immigrant community. 

Mexican folk dance originated from traditional dances from all over Mexico, incorporating cultural elements of indigenous peoples. Since the early 20th century, Mexican folk dance has gradually become popular in American immigrant communities and has become an important part of the cultural identity of the Mexican community.
