More on the Danza Azteca:
A very entertaining and common event at most powwows is a dance exhibition of Aztec Dancers. Aztecs are native peoples indigenous to the Americas!!!!! Some people don’t accept Aztecs as native peoples, but they most certainly are! Long before the invading Spanish hit the Americas, there were no borders. It is also believed that the Pueblo peoples and ancient Anasazi peoples of the southwestern states originally came from the south from what is known today as Mexico. The language of the true Mexican people is not Spanish but Nahuatl , an indigenous language. There actually well over 60 other indigenous languages in Mexico, many of which are still spoken today.
Danza Azteca in Spanish and “Mi’totiliztli” in Nahuatl, is one of the most basic manifestations of the artistic and cultural spirit of the native people of Mexico. It is a mixture of thousands of years of history of both the agrarian and militaristic ethnic groups of the area, and the integration of pre-columbian rituals as evolved over the centuries. Today, three of the basic forms of Aztec dance are performed; ceremonial rituals, concheros (a rhythmic and slow dance performed to the music of armadillo shell guitars), and warrior dancers, which are very colorful and energetic. The Faja is the thick band of cloth that they wear around their waists both men and women—to help them be more agile dancers. The chachayotls or Aztec bells, you see worn around the ankles of dancers are made from the seeds of ayoyote and imitate the sound of rain during the dance. The female dancers wear decorative skirts or tunics and the men wear a type of loincloth called the maxtlatl.
The Dance represents the eternal search of man for cosmic harmony and integration, both of his body and his spirit, and all the chants of Aztec Dance ritual refer to this essential process.
The Aztec Dance has been referred to as a form of prayer and a total way of life and communication. It is one of the few native dance rituals that permits the participation of women.
The dancers unite to create a corporal expression to worship and communicate with their gods and goddesses as they are expressed in nature. The dancers perform with the dance steps passed from parent to child. The dances represent different meanings, but all express respect for nature and the four elements: earth, water, fire and wind.
Before they start dancing, one of the dancers will sound the drum and conch shell trumpet. Copal is usually burned. Copal is a tree resin from the Protium Copal Tree and is an aromatic resin used by the cultures of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica as ceremonially as incense. The dances represent the forces of nature, the universal four corners of the earth, human existence and the struggle for power among the elements.
There are Aztec dance troupes in nearly all cities, especially in the western and southwestern states. The Aztec dancers are a regular and important component of today’s powwows. They always invite spectators towards the end of their exhibition to join hands in a circle and dance with them. Aztec dancers offer a beautiful performance that is fun for all.
