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

Annual CLYLP Presentation...7/24/2011

Once again, we have been asked to open up the Chicano Latino Youth Leadership Project at Sac State this summer. This is a week long conference attended by students throughout our state to encourage and promote higher education and community empowerment. Please mark your calendars and set aside the morning to support our youth. I sent out an "event" request on facebook. Please respond to the request to let me know if you'll be able to make it.

Stay Hydrated!!!

Mexikas, please make sure you are drinking lots of extra water!!! It's warming up fast and it's really easy to become dehydrated. We don't want anyone passing out. Also, please make sure that you have sandals or huaraches in your danza bag to dance in. I know nobody loves dancing in sandals, but you need to protect your feet when it's hot. Blisters are no fun. Of course they happen, but should be prevented when possible. It's important to take care of your bodies, more specifically your feet, so that you can continue to dance strong and hard. See you tonight at ensayo at Jeanette's.
