| A
Puerto Rican folk dance group was founded in 1992
by Olga Custodio, and become the Ballet Folklórico
Borikén in 1995. The group presents the
culture of the island of Puerto Rico through folk
dances and music. It strives to maintain roots
outside the island and to send a message of pride
and respect for the heritage and culture of Puerto
Rican to those now established in Texas. Materials
and information from the Puerto Rican Cultural
Institute and from government-sponsored folk dance
groups from Puerto Rico have provided Ballet Folklórico
with guidance. |
Activities: Performances at the Texas Folklife
Festival, the Banana Festival, the Christopher
Columbus Festival (Kerrville) and various church
festivals.
Activities include various events during Hispanic
Heritage Month (September) |
