Borinquen Dance Theatre helps youth build the desire to succeed through the discipline of dance. Borinquen Dance Theatre provides at-risk Hispanic and other youth in the Rochester region with cultural opportunities that broaden their educational, artistic, career and personal horizons. We position youth for success by fostering in them to embrace a dedicated work ethic and sense of personal discipline to master intricate dance movement, the desire to succeed in school, and to make good decisions about health, wellness, and relationships. Students express their confidence and joy of accomplishment through the performance of Puerto Rican folkloric and Latin contemporary dance.
