My name is Magaly Flores, founder and creative director of Colibri Mexican Folkdance UK, as well as a Spanish Teacher for the Primary sector, promoting both the language and the wider hispanic culture.
I hold a Degree in Education from Edge Hill University, I’m a member of the UNESCO accredited International Dance Council (CID), and a qualified art teacher specialised in dance education, participating as an active member of the IIDDMAC Dance Research Centre (Instituto de Investigación y Difusión de la Danza Mexicana).
Regularly, I collaborate with different and diverse organisations including the Mexican Embassy in London, Instituto Cervantes in Manchester and Leeds, Manchester Central Library, Latin American House, Canning House in London, Luma Creations, Fusion de los Pueblos, The Peoples Heritage Museum Manchester, Liverpool Central Library, Glasgow Skypark, Edge Hill University Arts Centre, Durham University Symposium, Birmingham University, Walk The Plank Arts, Lingua Franca World Music Agency, Empowervenz, Aberdeen Multicultural Centre and many more.
I founded Colibrí Mexican Folkdance UK in 2016, and is now an accomplished and succesful dance Company of native Mexicans based in Manchester showcasing traditional Mexican dance throughout the north-west of England and along Europe.
My main goal as the Leader of Creative Industries within Red Global is to promote Mexican culture, connecting with other artists both here in UK and Worldwide and creating projects whereby our culture will become even more widely known and we can continue to feel proud of it. My hobbies include travelling, photography and listening to music.
