Dzul grew up in Mexico performing the ritual dances of his Mayan tribal community. Formal dance training began in 1986 at the Universidad de Veracruz at which time he also became a member of Ballet Nacional de Mexico. In 1989 Dzul was awarded a scholarship by Martha Graham to study at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance where he became a principal dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Ensemble. Since his arrival in New York Dzul has also worked with Martha Graham Dance Company, Pearl Lang Dance Theater, Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble, American Indian Dance Theater, and Battery Dance Company. Awarded another scholarship for study in America from Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes of Mexico in 1995, he also soon began studying Classical Ballet first under the late Vladimir Dokoudovsky and now with Patricia Dokoudovsky at The New York Conservatory of Dance. He currently studies with aerialist Chelsea Bacon as well.

Dzul founded Dzul Dance in 1994. The company has performed in New York and abroad and Dzul's work has been presented at many esteemed venues including The Sylvia and Danny Kaye Playhouse, El Museo del Barrio, and Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, garnering reviews along the way that laud Dzul's “strong presence” with “intricate and sometimes risky-looking partnering” and a “conscious use of theatricalized ritual.” (Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times ), as well as his “acrobatic wizardry” and his “artful intermarriage of forms.” (Lori Ortiz, Attitude). Dzul has also taught at several dance institutes and international workshops
