Danza Mexica Cuauhtemoc (DMC) is a community of individuals and families that are dedicated to the preservation, promotion and practice of the Mexica/ Azteca culture including ceremonies, dance, accurate history, arts and craft, and philosophies to name a few.

DMC encourages everyone to become critical thinkers and to formulate one’s own political position on issues that relate to Mother Earth and Humanity like immigration, education, health care, environmental justice, water rights, and the Rights of Mother Earth.

Danzantes (dancers) study dance weekly and present cultural exchanges year round to build understanding, awareness, relationships and unity. The knowledge of these traditions is for everyone to learn, is free, and is passed on using an intergenerational approach.

Each year Danza Mexica Cuauhtémoc proudly hosts numerous ceremonies like Dia de los Muertos, Xilonen (In LA area), Cuauhtémoc, Resistance, and Chalchiutlicue (In Minnesota). We invite you to come visit our ceremonies.

Danza Mexica Cuauhtémoc is an open circle, so if you are interested in learning Danza, please contact a practice near you.

Last Speech of Tlatoani Cuauhtemoc

Last Speech of Tlatoani Cuauhtemoc ~ August 12, 1521 ~Tlatelolco “Our Sun has gone down. Our Sun has been lost from view and has left us in complete darkness. But we know it will return again that it will rise again to light us anew. But while it is there in the Mansion of Silence Let’s join together, let’s embrace each other and in the very center of our being, hide all that our hearts love and we know is the Great Treasure. Let us hide our Temples our schools, our sacred soccer game our youth centers our houses of flowery song so that only our streets remain. Our homes will enclose us until our New Sun rises. Most honorable fathers and most honorable mothers, may you never forget to guide your young ones teach your children, while you live how good it has been and will be. Until now our beloved Anahuac sheltered and protected our destinies that our ancestors and our parents enthusiastically received and seeded in our being. Now we will instruct our children how to be good. They will raise themselves up and gain strength and as goodness, make real their great destiny in this, our beloved mother Anahuac.”
