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

Xilonen 2011

It's Xilonen time again!!! This year, Kalpulli Itzkuauhtli is excited to honor three of our young ladies as they mark their transition into womanhood. This year's Xilonens will be Angelina Raucho, Alexis "Lil' Yaya" Hernandez and Rae'Anne Gutierrez. These girls have committed themselves to a year of hard work and discipline to represent themselves, their familias and our kalpulli. We're all looking forward to their ceremonia and the work we have together in the coming year.

Our 2010 Xilonen Anicia "Nene" Hernandez, set a beautiful example for the girls to follow. She has learned so much and come so far. She will be entregando her palabra at the ceremonia and though we're sad to see her Xilonen year come to an end, we're proud of her for fulfilling her commitment and representing our kalpulli the way she does.
