Assumption Dance Group

Aztec dance is a very Mexican traditional dance from indigenous people in Mexico. It dates back to the times of Spain’s colonization when the indigenous people first became Catholics and used their dances to honor Our Holy Mother Virgen Mary and God.
The dance represents the eternal search of man for cosmic harmony and integration of body and spirit. It was considered a form of prayer, but also a complete way of life and communication with what was most important to these people, their God. Aztec dance is one of the most basic expressions of artistic and cultural spirit of the native people of Mexico. For the Aztecs, this tradition was a part of life, and, fortunately, we are able to see this fascinating way of life today.
The Assumption Dance Group has promoted Aztec dance since 2018 and was founded by Alicia Vieyra to honor Our Holy Mother Virgin Mary and our major saints through these dances. Everyone is welcome to participate; the group meet for practices from September to December.
