Nellie Campobello

Nellie Campobello was born in Villa Ocampo, in Durango, around 1900, although she gave 1909. She spent her childhood in the north during the revolution, where Pancho Villa was a hero to her family. After her mother's death in 1923, she moved to Mexico City, studied dance with her sister Gloria and became a choreographer; in 1931, she staged a mass ballet. Held in confinement in her old age by two close acquaintances, she died on 9 July 1986 in Progreso de Obregón, in Hidalgo, and her death, concealed, was discovered only twelve years later.
