"It has to have a lot of fabric for the movement.”Through his costumes and choreography, Chaon has had a hand in captivating audiences for generations.  “Ballet Folklórico represents the traditions, the music and the costumes for a nation…every country has a folklore," he said. “Here in Texas, we celebrate more [of] the folklore from Mexico because we are very close...a lot of skirts, a lot of ladies trying to flirt ...
