Danza Chichimeca Performance--- Sunday, December 6
--- 3pm; Community Rooms 1-3
Experience the vibrant music, movement, and indigenous culture of Mexico with Danza Chichimeca, a Bloomington-based group out of St. Mary’s Church which has celebrated and preserved their dance traditions within our community for 24 years.
Rooted in Indigenous heritage and Catholic faith, Danza Chichimeca expresses prayer, love, and gratitude using music, rhythmic movement, and by honoring the Virgin of Guadalupe during the celebration of her feast day.
Danza Chichimeca is closely related to the Conchero and Aztec dance traditions. Concheros blend Indigenous customs with Catholic devotion and take their name from the concha, a traditional string instrument used in their ceremonies. Aztec dance emphasizes Indigenous cultural heritage through ceremonial movement, drumming, and symbolic attire. These traditions share many elements, though each group has its own history and customs.
