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

Thanks for a Busy Month

It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for all the hard work and energia put in over this last month preparing for Xilonen. The ceremonia was beautiful and the Xilonens did a great job. Thank you to everyone who made it to all the daily practices, sewed and cut trajes, worked with Nene on her song and dance, helped out with rides, put together ofrendas, donated food/supplies, carried water and fruit to the dancers and cleaned up. It really was an amazing day thanks to all of you. Congratulations Nene! Looking forward to doing it again next month with our compadritos de Tlaltekuhtli!!!
