Dancing

to Life

In this year-end edition, we travel through Mesoamerica where we encounter the indigenous traditions and dances of the Aztec People. In this video we can appreciate the offerings to the 4 Cardinal Points and the 4 Elements that are always included at the beginning of any ceremony. Thanking and recognizing

Mother Earth who gives us life,

well-being, and wisdom.

 

The Aztecs formed one of the largest and most important empires of pre-Columbian America in just 200 years. They had the best technology such as calendars, aqueducts, palaces, pyramids, and temples that rose

as a tribute to their gods and as a testimony of power to humanity.
