Our Mission
The Group’s mission is to promote the appreciation and preservation of our Taíno
Indian, Spanish, and West African roots and culture through the performance of Puerto
Rican folkloric dances and music, particularly in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington
DC. We represent, teach, and disseminate our rich culture by dancing traditional
Puerto Rican musical genres such as "la Bomba", "la Plena", "la Danza", and "el Seis".
