Arts Director

zenon@alasdreams.com
Zenón Barrón is a respected professional researcher of Méxican and Latin American folklore, costume design and scenic design. His dance career began at the age of four as a member of the group Matlachines.  His formal training covered classical ballet, modern dance and Mexican folk dance. Prior to founding Ensambles, Zenón toured throughout the United States and Europe as a dance member of Ballet Folklórico de México de Amalia Hernandez. While living in Mexico, he helped form part of other dance companies such as Ballet Folklórico de la Universidad de Guadalajara, Ballet Folklórico de Jaime Bernal, and Ballet Folklórico Xochiquetzalli.


Zenón is also a graduate of the Instituto de Artes Escenicas in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. In 2009, he earned his Doctorate from the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico City.  In 1992 he moved to San Francisco and has since become one of San Francisco’s most cherished and celebrated artistic directors in Mexican Folkoric Dance.
