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

Ceremonia de Guerreros

This Saturday, October 2nd, Kalpulli Itzkuauhtli will once again attend the Guerreros ceremony hosted by Chuy and Quetzalcoatl-Citlalli. This year we will be presenting David Jose Ornelas as our "Guerrero" for the year. David has been dancing for three years. During this upcoming year he will work on not only his dancing and singing, but will also focus on his obligations to his kalpulli, familia and community. As a Kalpulli, we're proud of how far he's come and are looking forward to working closely with him during this next year.
