Description
"Guillermo Rosete tells students Nauha [sic] (native) languages and asks the students to repeat him. Guillermo dances and teaches the students to dance Aztec Danza. Students from Pacific Beach Elementary bring paper sacks to pick up paper trash from the Chicano Park. In all Salvador and Gloria Torres YAA Chicano Park tours the students arrive AM and stay for lunch that they bring to picnic in Chicano Park after visiting Salvador and Gloria Torres Studio/Gallery/Workshop. Guillermo is one of many Dancers who have dedicated their lives to the various ceremonial dances. Guillermo Rosete and Danza Azteca have participated also in Native American ceremonial dances, the dramatic "Sun Dance", requiring piercing. The concept beginning in 1970 was brought to the Centro Cultural De La Raza, by the "Concheros". There are now many Danza groups practicing this art form. A unique study of the Danza and its symbolisms, costumes, headdresses, drums, rattles, flutes and altars and Kivas, would be a tribute to our future generations understanding of this dynamic period we live in now. The Myth "AZTLAN". The Danza concept is to recapture our people's cultural awareness of our ancient history, Ceremonies, Iconography, Respect for all nature, Harmony, Love and Peace. The concept is based on the dignity of our Spanish, Native and Mestizo Indo-Hispano heritages. This rediscovery of our ancient native nations have inspired creative cultural growth in all our Chicano communities. Our cultural awareness in painting, drawing, printmaking, murals, writing, poetry, music and theater. Our arts have served the Chicano Movement politically toward the inclusion of our people in all levels of responsibility in community, city, state, and national and international decision making that affects our humanity. Negations of our culture have inspired revolutionary survival tactics of capturing land, buildings, and the establishing of new educational institutions."
