Bailes de Mi Tierra’s mission is to preserve, promote, and present Mexican & Latin American traditions through its music, dance, and folklore. 

Based in Baltimore, the group has become a community favorite in the Tri-state region for its colorful costumes, vibrant dances, and the lively sounds of Mexican & Latin American music that provide a rich representation of its heritage and traditions; performing regularly at festivals, museums, schools, and other events.
