## Repertoire and regional styles

Performances draw on distinct regional traditions of Mexico, each with its own choreography and traje (costume):

- **Jalisco** — the rainbow-ruffled *falda de colores*, the most widely recognized folklórico style.
- **Chiapas** — dresses with vivid floral embroidery (the *Chiapaneca*).
- **Yucatán** — the white *terno*, worn by the Adult Ladies group.

Costume and regional attribution are treated precisely; each style belongs to a specific region and is not interchangeable.
