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

Ceremonias This Month

This month we're hoping to attend two ceremonias in the bay area. The first will be this upcoming weekend in San Francisco with Kalpulli Xuicoatl, and next weekend will be in San Jose with Kalpulli Mictlan. We'd like to make sure we're able to send gente to both of these ceremonias, so let's talk tonight to figure out schedules and the ride situation. See you at ensayo :)

This past weekend Kalpulli Itzkuauhtli traveled to LA to participate in a traditional velacion and ceremony commemorating the last battle and heroic defense of Tenochtitlan, by our last Tlatoani Kuauhtemokzin. Thank you to Kalpulli Tlaltekuhtli for hosting the ceremonia and to all the kalpullis that joined us. Thank you to Tere, Monet, Rozco, Jeanette, Maya, Yaya, Patty, Yuri, Elicia, Ixi, Ruben, Rosa, David, Mom and Aswut for making the trip down south to represent our Kalpulli. Thank you also to those of you who couldn't make it, but helped out with the ofrendas. Special thanks to Rozco and Ruben for carrying our teopantli and to Raymond for making a trip out to Kettleman City when one of our families had car problems.
