The inter-generational dance group educates on and carries indigenous lifeways throughout the year honoring the pre-Hispanic ingenuity and achievements of their ancestors, which included highly developed sciences and mastery of the arts. The danzas (dances) honor our relation to Mother Earth, reflect all the earth’s elements, and teach respect for nature and all life. Colectiva Pochteca celebrates the rich mosaic that is Hispanic heritage by bridging these traditions from past to present with integrity, ensuring their preservation for future generations.
