▪ 2001

      Mexican folk dancer and choreographer (b. 1917, Mexico City, Mex.—d. Nov. 4, 2000, Mexico City), was founder of the internationally renowned Ballet Folklórico de México. Although she was trained in classical ballet, Hernández decided to specialize in native Mexican dance. She founded the Ballet Folklórico in 1952, and under her leadership the company became the largest and most widely respected Mexican dance company in the world. She choreographed more than 40 ballets that incorporated local dance traditions from some 60 regions of Mexico.
