There aren't many options in this area. I live in Temple and am an adult and found no group for two years ago. So far there is a group at the Temple High School under a group called HYO where they are all middle school or high school age. In Belton, nothing. In Killeen, there's a group under MECA ( http://65.40.213.248:8080 ) where from what I've seen they are children to adults and they have videos on there to see what they dance.

Then I started teaching at the Temple Parks and Recreation's Sammons Community Center (near 35 and Wilson Art). I've danced in Dallas for years with various teachers and so far here its myself - 27yo- and my husband and another lady that's around my age that is the "performing group." Since I only have one class right now full of little girls ages 6-10 I was going to work on more complicated stuff from my home.

I don't know if this helps but that's what I've learned from living in this folklorico wasteland for the last two years. Contact me if you need more info.
