Abstract

Many twentieth- and twenty-first-century dance circles in the Conchero and Tradición veins have an organizational leadership structure that reflects colonial alterations to the classic Mexica calpulli governance models. Calpulli Tonalehqueh leadership is organized in ways recognizable to the student of Conchero or Tradición conventions, but as a modern iteration of a calpulli in the Mexicayotl tradition, it champions a recovery of the traditional calpulli leadership roles. Calpulli Tonalehqueh members remember and replicate the traditional system in their own group.
