This paper explores present-day manifestations of Mesoamerican forms of dance and its relationship to the formation of Chicano spiritual identity. Contemporary Danza Azteca has its roots in the pre-Colombian ceremonial and public dance tradition that was an integral part of the religious, political, and military foundation of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. After the Spanish Conquest, Catholicism was forced upon the indigenous survivors and Native forms of religious expression, including dance, were banned. The survivors came up with ingenious ways by which to preserve their spiritual traditions by incorporating Native dance and song into Catholic ceremonies and services. After 500 years, the result was a transculturative-syncretic fusion of indigenous and Catholic belief systems expressed through ancient forms of indigenous dance that resulted in what became known as the Conchero tradition in Mexico. In the 1960s and 70s, Danza Azteca began to assume popularity among politicized Chicano communities and was transformed into a performative and spiritual tradition that nurtured both the political and spiritual needs of a community concerned with gaining civil rights and respect, as well as serving as a revivalistic-revitalization movement for Chicanos. For many Chicanos, this was a newfound expression of cultural pride and the reclamation of long-suppressed or forgotten histories. Today, Danza is moving forward in new directions and the future of this ancient tradition is continuing to unfurl in fascinating ways. It is a testament to the primary role of spiritual traditions in the creation of post-colonial identities and how they continue to be created for modern colonized populations.
