Danza Azteca Macuilxochitl goal is to preserve the sacred traditions left behind by our elders while sharing and exchanging cultural knowledge as a way to foster a sense of unity and connections between all cultures.
Danza Azteca Macuilxochitl is a traditional ceremonial Azteca dance group supported by our teachers in Mexico that are dedicated to preserving and nurturing the traditions of ancient Mesoamerica knowledge through kinetic movement, art, culture, and rituals honoring our ancestors. Our goal is to respectfully uphold the sacred oral traditions left behind by our elders while sharing this cultural knowledge as a way of fostering unity and connections between all cultures. We honor the seven directions and sacred elements, the water, air, earth, and fire during our ritual dances. In this way, our ceremonies and public presentations celebrate cultural diversity by exploring the links that bring us together. The synchronicity of our drum beat with our footsteps is what evokes the ancient memory of our ancestors and creates connectivity among all peoples. Colorful regalia, long vibrant feathers, drums, seed pods, flutes, mandolins, and other Mesoamerican instruments unite to create a mind-expanding experience that reflects the cultural heritage of Mexico as well as North and Central America. Our group offers cultural and artistic presentations and free educational workshops for all ages.
Danza Azteca Macuilxochitl invites you to our annual community ceremony taking place Sept. 26 - 28, celebrating the Tercer Viento – Mayahuel and the harvest season, Tonali Tlen Pixkistli. In alignment with the Fall Equinox, we gather to honor our ancestral roots and reclaim Indigenous traditions through song, dance, food, and ritual as acts of resistance and renewal.
