Alegre Ballet Folklorico is a 501c3 Non-Profit dance troupe that uses traditional and creative elements to educate dancers and audiences on the culture and history of Mexico. Founded in September of 1993 by Pedro Perez, the group has grown from a 3 person backyard past time, to an award winning company having over 100 dancers.

Alegre began as a small group in the Law Magnet High School of DISD. The group began accepting students from the rest of the community in 1993 at no cost. Alegre’s humble beginnings went from the Perez home back patio, to Kidd Springs and Martin Weiss Recreation Centers. In 1997 the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs (now the Office of Arts and Culture) allowed Alegre to have a home in the newly opened Ice House Cultural Center. When the Ice House closed its doors the group moved with the Office of Arts and Culture to the Oak Cliff Cultural Center.
