She’s lived in Richmond since 1994. “I joined the group because Bomba y Plena is in my Puerto Rican roots. As a child, I was able to learn about the history of our folklore.

Dagmar Hernandez

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Moved to Virginia in 2008. The main reason I joined the group is because growing up as a New York Rican my whole life I was proud just to be Puerto Rican but never really knew anything about my culture. I saw Salsa Guy Richmond at a public event and just knew this is what I was missing culturally. The environment, the comradery, and values, has made it all worth it. I love to dance and love what we offer. I do this to pass down these traditions to my daughter.

Alexandra arts, craft, photography and sports (volleyball working out). I joined because Josey is a great sales lady .. LoL, but really I need something fun and creative in my life.

I am not Puerto Rican, but Guatemalan. I have traveled to Pierto Rico and love the culture. Besides I love dancing different genres. Dance is a way for me to express myself and would love to enrich my life with this experience and share with others the different cultures.

PERUVIAN FOLKLORIC DANCE, DANCING SINGING and because give the opportunity to share your talents.

Love Puerto Rican music and traditions.
