BALLET FOLKLORICO CRISTO REY was formed five years ago as a youth activity at Christ the King Catholic Church in San Diego. Our instructor Job Moriado has over 25 years experience dancing and teaching. He studied dance under Ma. Guadalupe de la Rosa, Ph.D. in Guadalajara, Mexico. Job danced with Fresno State University, Cal State Bakersfield and College of the Sequoias. His favorite region is Veracruz. Job has a style which supersedes any other. He loves working with youth and wants them to have the opportunities he received growing up.

We rapidly grew into three groups of performers whose ages range from children ages 3 to 12, young adults 13 to 20, and adults presently to age 76. We perform traditional folkloric dances from region of Mexico, such as Veracruz, Jalisco, Guerrero, Chiapas, Sinaloa, Durango, Chihuahua, Nayarit, San Luis Potosi and Yucatan.

We have performed at "Old Town" San Diego, Qualcomm Stadium, Lemon Grove Festival, KSWB-TV, Cinco de Mayo Festival in Chula Vista, Anaheim Convention Center, Knotts Berry Farm, Chicano Park, Del Mar Fair, Coors Amphitheater, Viejas Casino Outlet, Horton Plaza, Plaza Bonita Mall, Lyceum Theater, Belmont Park, Malcolm "X" Library, Disneyland, San Diego Convention Center, Bonita Festival, El Cajon International Festival and Grape Day Parade in Escondido.
