Performing in the pow wow arena on Sunday at 11:30am is the Aztec dance group, Ocelotl-Cihauacoatl. Aztec dance involves a positive attitude toward every aspect of life, including the worship of nature as it is a gift provided by the Creator.
This indigenous dance style worships the sun so that it will appear every day to help the crops produce and provide light for the harvest.

The specific dance movements are a prayer for cosmic harmony. Each dancer performs a series of movements such as serpent like actions to represent fertility, squatting on the floor to convey the earth and crops, twirling in the air as a reference to the soul, alternating backward and forward steps symbolic of fire, and zigzag steps illustrating the movement of water. Individual focus on being attentive so they can become one entity. Read more about Danza Azteca.
