"Behavior like that is NOT OK!" the studio wrote in a letter to its community."Ballet Folklorico de Chicago is more than an organization, it is a second home. We take immense pride in the positive impact we make in our community by keeping tuition affordable for families, creating job opportunities for our youth, awarding 15 college scholarships to date, and preserving the beautiful traditions of Mexican folk dance. As an official Chicago Cultural Treasure, we welcome anyone who wishes to learn about and celebrate the richness of Mexican culture while helping make our community and our world a better place.

Our community stands united in making it clear that actions rooted in hate have consequences, and together we will continue to stand for respect, dignity, and inclusion."“I don't feel safe coming back. I mean I'm going to keep coming back because this is ... supposed to be our safe space. We're learning about our culture. We're dancing. We're trying to promote this culture across the city." Parents said the incident wasn't their first encounter with the neighbors, who they said have previously complained the dance students are too loud.
