Values
Danza Mexica’s dance and song customs have been passed down for generations and contain our stories of endurance and survival. The Danza tradition is one that celebrates and honors nature and all it’s seasons as well as our role as ambassadors to earth. Danza is very important to our youth as well as it is a strict guide to those coming of age and serves as a reminder of how important it is to respect ones self during this sacred transition.

Purpose
In today’s climate it is so very important to support our marginalized communities by reminding them of the contributions our ancestors made to humanity by making their art forms and traditions more visible.
