Dance entertainment in Mexico City

  1. A

    Teatro de la Danza

    The Centro Cultural del Bosque complex behind the Auditorio Nacional features six theaters, including the Teatro de la Danza, established in 1969 and dedicated to modern dance. There are just 340 seats in this elegant auditorium, so advance reservations are recommended for the higher-profile performances. As with classical music, Mexico City’s cultural centers frequently stage classical and contemporary dance performances. Watch out for announcements in Tiempo Libre and Friday’s La Jornada.

    Sala Miguel Covarrubias

    This contemporary dance venue programs exceptional and diverse performances. Recent shows include performances by La Rossignol, an Italian company that delivers an evocative show of Renaissance music and dance. The auditorium also serves as the venue for the Festival Internacionál de Musica y Escena (International Festival of Music and Scenery), an annual event since 1998.

  3. C

    Salón Los Ángeles

    Cuban-music fans shouldn’t miss the outstanding orchestras, nor the graceful dancers who fill the vast floor of this atmospheric ballroom. It’s like the set of a period film, particularly on Tuesday evening, when an older crowd comes for danzón. It’s located in the rough Colonia Guerrero, so take a taxi.
