Danza Mexica Cuauhtemoc is a community of people dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Mexica/Azteca culture, ceremonies, warrior dances, and traditions of our ancestors. Danza Mexica Cuauhtemoc works to build unity, understanding, mutual respect and harmony amongst all nations. This is done by coming together and supporting one another in struggle for political, economic, environmental, social and cultural justice.

We preserve our culture by teaching and practicing the Mexica/Azteca dance, learning the accurate and true history of our people, creating arts and crafts, studying the Sun Stone (Aztec calendar), studying and practicing the language of Nahuatl, studying Mexica/Azteca and Mayan math, building political consciousness and much more.    

This is our culture; this is who we are and we live accordingly. We are not a performance dance troop.  Feel free to come and learn, watch us dance or invite us to share our danza at your school, community space or at a struggle in your community. We have class every Monday from 6:30PM-8:30PM at Bell Arts Factory, 432 N. Ventura Avenue, Ventura CA. You can reach us at veronicaxochitl@yahoo.com.

Donations and grant opportunities are always welcome!

Danza Mexica Cuauhtemoc has hosted the annual Dia de los Muertos celebration in the City of Ventura for over seven years. This celebration has cultivated community building and cultural appreciation by bringing together people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. The ancient tradition of honoring the lives of those who came before us are preserved and relearned as a community. 

Donations, grant opportunities, and volunteers are greatly appreciated and would ensure the continuation of this rich cultural tradition in our community. Please contact us at veronicaxochitl@yahoo.com for more information.
