La Danza Azteca Mexica

Que es la danza:

La Danza Azteca Mexica es un legado Ancestral y Cultural que nos heredaron nuestras abuelas y abuelos para honrar las energías de Tonanzintlalli (La Madre Tierra -la Naturaleza)

La Danza Azteca Mexica son movimientos que representan a los cuatro elementos: fuego, viento, agua, y tierra. Ciertos pasos se asemejan a un animal sagrado como el águila, jaguares, caimán, o cocodrilo, conejo, colibrí, etc. También hay pasos que asemejan a plantas medicinales como el carrizo y las flores.

La danza es descubrir tus raises nativas, es diciplina, es amor, trabajar mucho en comunidad, estudiar, ayudar a los demás, es esperanza y liderazgo.
