Luz Castillo, Director of the Tonatiuh Dance Group
Luz Castillo, a dancer trained at the Mexican Dance School in Mexico City, her dance career began at the young age of 7. Luz had the opportunity to participate in multicultural events across Europe, performing in places such as Mallorca, Spain; Sicily, Italy; and Paris, France, before moving to Canada.
She came to Toronto by invitation to be a dance instructor for the group Alianza. A year later, she was invited to be the choreographer for Viva Mexico Dance Group.
In 2002, Luz founded her own group, Tonatiuh, with the goal of preserving and promoting Mexican folkloric traditions in Canada.
In 2014, the group expanded to include a children's section, aiming to instill pride in Mexican roots among younger generations.
Tonatiuh has participated in numerous events throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), establishing itself as a key figure in promoting Mexican culture in Canada.
