In July 2017, we held our eighth Danza Azteca Symposium. Here we had over 75 Danzantes, educators, and researchers from all over the U.S. and Mexico gather to discuss the history and evolution of the Azteca Dance tradition in Mexico, and how it arrived in the U.S. in 1974. Here, Dr. Mario E. Aguilar, Capitán-General of Danza Mexi’cayotl is giving the welcome for the first day of activities.
