Welcome to Olin Yoliztli
Olin Yoliztli, which in the native language Náhuatl means life and movement, is a not-for-profit group carried out by a passionate group of people, promoting the culture of Mexico through dances and music. The group’s primary purpose is to create a community of people able to collectively share dances and music and organize events or participate in events to create a vibrant environment full of culture in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
We offer 3 introductory workshops throught the year. Drop-Ins are allowed although classes are built on sequential dance lessons. This means some content might be unfamiliar to participants who choose to drop in at random classes throughout the block. The Drop-In participants understand that the facilitator might not reteach material covered in previous classes.
We encourage you to be patient and enjoy the learning path, a commitment to most classes will certainly help you to learn these dances.
*Money shouldn’t be the reason why someone can’t come. If you really want to attend but can’t afford it, just contact us! We’ll be happy to talk and accept an affordable donation from you.
