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

Funeral on Wednesday...10/13/2010

As most of you have heard by now Evelyn's grandfather Phil Medina passed away last week. We have been asked to dance at the gathering after the funeral which will take place on Wednesday at the VFW hall on Stockton Blvd. We'll meet up at 2 and dance shortly after. I realize that some of you have work or school and understand if you can't make it, but for those of you who can, please let me know. Let's support our comadre and her familia :)
