Who We Are
We are a emerging group of danzantes (Mexica/Aztec dancers) that is starting up here on the East End. We are teachers, students, workers, activists, and all members of the Houston community.
Why We Are Here
While we all have our own reasons for joining danza and the Mexicayotl* lifestyle, we are here collectively dancing in your area to bring the dance of the ancient people of this land back into the hearts of the Brown community, from where it originates. We also formed as living proof that though our people have suffered much in the hands of those who wish us harm, our ancient ways have survived for over 500 years and we are all Native/Original People.
When We Practice
Every Saturday @ 9:00am
Hidalgo Park– 7000 Ave Q, Houston, TX 77011
Can You Join
We hold an Open Danza Circle which means that everyone is welcome to come and learn. There are no fees to learn, join, or practice with us.
*Mexicayotl– the essence of Mexicanismo/ the heart of the Mexica. Modernly used to describe a system of traditions and beliefs passed down by the Aztec/Mexica people from whom we descend from.
