Danza Azteca Calmecac Tonantzin Yolilitzyotl Danza Mexica

Danza Azteca – refers to traditional indigeneous dancers who perform different ceremonies and dance of the Chichimecas, Aztecas, and Mexicas, in ancient Mexico. The dancers have strong visual markers of pre-Hispanic roots with feathered regalia, indigenous dance steps and indigenous instruments such as drums. The dance, especially the "Azteca" version of it, arrived to the United States in the mid-1970s. Two dancers, Andres Segura and Florencio Yescas were instrumental in creating Conchero/Azteca groups from California to Texas among Mexican American communities. The dance entered the US at a time when many Mexicans and Mexican Americans were taking more militant stances against the status quo.

There are several local dance groups in Houston, such as Calmecac Tonantzin Yolilitzyotl (Houston Aztec Dance & Drum), and Cihuamihtotiliztli-Houston Moondance, Chikawa Aztec Dance and Traditions
