"Pulse of Huéhuetl" is Victor Hugo Loaiza's response to the reality of contemporary Mexico, to the events of violence, poverty, ethical crisis, repression by an authoritarian government, ignorance, and the absence of solidarity, among other factors plaguing Mexican society.

Drawing from the principles of the Danza de Concheros, an Aztec dance classified as ritualistic, Victor Hugo suggests the possibility of a new way of conceiving Mexican identity and repositioning the strengths and values ​​of the Mexican individual and people. The duality as the foundation of the idiosyncrasy of Mesoamerican cultures, the warlike principles, the bodily vigor, the mitote (a grand celebration of the ritual), the use of the Huéhuetl drum (as a bridge between the present and the Mexica worldview), as well as the bodily language of this dance manifestation, are key points that guided the creative process of the young choreographer.

Regarding movement, Loaiza gathers basic steps from the Danza de Concheros, returning to the low center of mass (bringing the pelvis closer to the ground) with the intention of having greater contact with the earthly, a principle that triggers leg movement. At the same time, he adds the exploration of torso movement, which highlights the difference between the proposal and the original dance, which, with elements of contemporary dance, extracts the essence without producing a vulgar monograph of Pre-Hispanic culture.
