The phrase “In Tlanextli Tlacopan” is an indigenous nahuatl term meaning “En El Esplendor de Tlacopan” in Spanish or “In the Splendor of Tlacopan” in English.  Our group is named such because our Aztec (Mexicah) traditions come from the neighborhood of Tlacopan (today known as “Tacuba”) in Mexico City.  Our dances represent the timeless splendor of our Mexicah culture. Through these dances, we honor our Mexicah ancestors, indigenous legacy and preserve our historical and cultural Mexicah identities.

          We have presented our vibrant culture though our dances throughout the United States, including New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Through our presentations at powwows, community events, educational and cultural institutions,  we try to share our culture with other people. We want people to know the splendor of the Aztec (Mexicah) peoples is alive and well and not an imagination from the past.

        We hope you will become a part of that experience.
