Kalpulli Itzkuauhtli Danza Azteka is a traditional dance group, founded December 18, 2003 as a part of the Mesa Quinto Sol.


Our primary goal is to ensure that the knowledge preserved for us by our ancestors is not lost, and that a new generation continues on, able to transmit this information to their children.


To this end all of our dancers participate in traditional ceremonies throughout the US and Mexico, learn traditional songs and learn to construct the regalia and instruments used in this tradition.


We enjoy performing within our communities to let our gente know that these ways are not dead, they continue to grow and thrive and that the information is out there for those who would like to learn more.


All ages are welcome to learn… No charge to participate…Practices are Monday/Wednesday...For more information contact Citlalin @ (916) 459-6334

Mexika New Year Ceremonia in San Jose

On Saturday, March 13, 2010, ten of our dancers headed out to participate in a new year ceremony hosted by Calpulli Tonalehqueh in San Jose, CA. Thank you to those of you who made the trip out there to represent Kalpulli Itzkuauhtli and Mesa Quinto Sol. I know it was cold, muddy and windy, but thank you for your energia and fuerza-especially during palabra. Special thanks to David and Rae'Anne for carrying the pantli in that wind and Tere for driving. Tiahui Itzkuauhtli!!!
