Aztlan: Barrio Dance Stories is a pioneering ensemble rooted in Austin, Texas, and known for its innovative fusion of Indigenous, folkloric, and contemporary dance. Since its founding in 1974 by Maria Salinas, with Roën Salinas guiding artistic direction for many years, the company has become a vital voice in the Latino and Indigenous dance communities. The group is celebrated for immersive performances that blend film and live dance, exploring memory, place, and identity through works like Echoes Of The Mind, Moonlight, and Codex Nativo. Notably inducted into the Austin Arts Hall of Fame in 2010, Aztlan continues to push the boundaries of storytelling through movement and multimedia elements.
