Mazehual Danza, or Mitotilliztli, is the ancient dance form indigenous to Mesoamerica that is based on the principles of the Mazehual. 

​Within every rhythm there is mathematics related to the cycles of Nature and the Universe and in every dance there is symbolism related to philosophies, sciences and principles that the ancient ones studied and developed. ​
