Celebrate National American Indian Heritage Month at TWCM

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – The Woodlands Children’s Museum is celebrating National American Indian Heritage Month – by hosting members of Conroe’s Chikawa Aztec Dance and Traditions group at its annual Boogie Bash.

Two performances, in which the dancers will demonstrate Aztec dance and native traditions, are slated for Tuesday, Nov. 17 – the first starting at 11 a.m. and the second commencing at noon. The museum is located at 4775 West Panther Creek Drive.

“The Aztecs emerged as the dominant force in central Mexico, expanding their influence to places as far as Costa Rica in Central America by the 15th century,” Angela Colton, executive director of The Woodlands Children’s Museum, said. “Much of the culture and traditions of modern Mexico have their roots in the Aztec culture. Discovering Aztec culture through dance will be a unique opportunity for our guests.”

The Chikawa Aztec Dance group was created under the direction of two educators, Alejandra Tapia and Francisco Garcia. Dancers of all ages practice twice a week in Conroe.

The event is included in the cost of museum admission, which is $5 for ages 2 and older. Museum members and children younger than 2 are admitted without charge.
