Indy Folklore Academy
Indy Folklore Academy
Indy Folklore Academy, Inc. ("IFA") is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote Mexico's cultural heritage and traditions through folkloric dance.
IFA was founded by Kristine Lopez, whose vision was to create a space in Indianapolis where individuals could feel supported, welcomed, and motivated to flourish and maximize their abilities as Mexican Folklore dancers. Since our founding date, our dance academy has grown to teach students from 13 years of age to adults.
IFA aspires to be a beacon of artistic excellence and cultural exchange, where individuals of all backgrounds come together to celebrate, learn, and grow.
