The group was small, consisting of only eight members in the beginning, and for their debut, Amalia presented the now-famous Melodies of Michoacan. In 1954, the chance to perform on television presented itself in the form of the Funcion de Gala program.
This is when the momentum began to truly pick up, the group performing a new dance every weekly broadcast. Success was garnered, and Amalia not only became director; the group expanded to twenty members by the end of the 67 episode run. With that small amount of success came recognition, and Amalia’s company gained the attention of the department of tourism. The government endorsed her group, aiding her in touring North America in representation of Mexico, the results absolutely positive. By 1959, the group had grown to sixty members and was commissioned to participate in the Panamerican Games in Chicago on behalf of Mexico.
Being catapulted onto the national stage, Amelia and the company only worked harder, creating 40 different dances in the 1960s alone. Following from there, Amelia’s prominence as a cultural icon was only cemented further, as she went to choreograph about 70 dances, with performances around the world. In fact, the company has “performed more than 15,000 times for a total audience number of more than 22 million people”, one of those performances being for John F. Kennedy during his presidency.
