Our Offerings
We offer traditional ceremonial danza classes to the community, community ceremonies, cultural teachings, and workshops aimed at community and youth empowerment and cultural preservation.
Danza Xitlalli also responds whenever possible to requests of providing danza when the community is impacted by violence, funerals, family celebrations, weddings, anniversaries and community events.
Our Ceremonies
Xipe/Colores
As the Mexica New Year, we recognize and celebrate new life and the arrival of Spring. We focus on the children with danza, storytelling, art, and other activities that celebrate life and take pride in our traditions.
Xilonen
Our sacred corn ceremony serves as a year-long rite of passage for young women in the community. Through the ceremony of the tender corn, we honor and celebrate their transition from girls to young women. During this time, they receive guidance on education, respect, responsibility, health, and the importance of cherishing their traditions. Community members, families, and danza groups come together to support them with offerings, sacred songs, and danza, reinforcing the connection between cultural heritage and their personal growth.
Ánimas
This all-night ceremony, filled with offerings of song, flowers, and danza, honors the ancestors who passed down these traditions to us. A large altar is beautifully adorned with candles, flowers, and mementos of our loved ones keeping their memory alive.
Tonantzin
In this ceremony, we honor our Mother Earth, Winter Solstice and feminine energy, giving her thanks for providing for our daily sustenance, through offering her danza, song, poetry, flowers and copal.
Cuauhtémoc
We honor Cuauhtémoc, the Mexica leader on his birthday, who defended his people and traditions. His courage and vision ensured that we can continue to celebrate and pass down these sacred traditions to our children and future generations.
