DANILOVIć, Mirjana. The indigenous dances of Central Mexico according to colonial sources. Trace (Méx. DF) [online]. 2020, n.78, pp.179-203. Epub 28-Abr-2021. ISSN 2007-2392. https://doi.org/10.22134/trace.78.2020.688.
The aim of the present paper is to study the descriptions of the indigenous dance of Central pre-Hispanic Mexico according to the colonial sources written in Spanish, Latin and Nahuatl. For the first time, a complete synthesis of the information obtained by the Spanish explorers, missionaries, and chroniclers, and of the sources written by indigenous people or with indigenous people about the native dance is made. Through the analysis one can observe how the official chroniclers of the Spanish Crown, the friars and the soldiers or conquerors offered a vision in accordance with their interests, beliefs and their ways of conceptualizing the world.
