GARZA STUDIOS Welcomes Calmecac Indigenous Organization Young Audiences went virtual with a performance in STUDIO 5 of Danza Azteca Splendor by Calmecac Indigenous Organization, live-streamed by the Harris County Public Library. Calmecac Tonantzin Yolilitzyotl (Houston Aztec Dance & Drum Group) is an open-community, family-based group dedicated to learning and teaching Mexicayotl dancing, drumming, and culture. This dance circle is dedicated to preserving and sharing traditional Indigenous Mexica philosophy, history, customs, culture and arts to communities in Houston. Lead by Abuela M'api Rainflowa, Danza Azteca played an important role in instituting an official proclamation by Mayor Sylvester Turner to recognize Indigenous People's Day. We are honored to continue to partner with them on current and future projects and to sponsor use of our studios to further their mission of education and visibility for all indigenous peoples through dance.
