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

Ayakaxtli Workshop

On January 15th we will hold another ayakaxtli workshop for those of you who still need one or want to make a new one. We'll meet up in Ev's garage to make them with both single and double gourds. Please make sure to sign up with Citlalin if you haven't already done so. Cost for the workshop materials will be $8 for a single and $15 for a double. We'll provide the gourds, sticks, tools, glue, filling, paint and leather for wrapping the handles/fringe. This does not include feathers.
