Dakota County Library - The Ketzal Coatlicue Aztec Dance Troupe
Driving drum rhythms and dazzling costumes hold students' interest and through each step the dancer in full regalia gives life to the symbols of the dance. Aztec dance performance creates a connection between contemporary dancers and the elders who have preserved this expression of culture. The aztec symbols of life are reproduced in the dance steps.
