Our STORIES

YFG Cultural Dance Troupe

We launched the Sining Pilipinas (Philippine Arts) community initiative, which has led to the formation of the Yorkshire Filipino Group Cultural Dance Troupe. The rehearsal workshop began in the summer of 2024, featuring a contemporary interpretation of various Philippine folk dances. The performance aims to blend tradition with innovation, creating a mesmerizing experience.

A total of 20 individuals have signed up from Leeds, West Yorkshire and the surrounding areas and will be touring this summer of 2024, performing at the Bradford Barrio Fiesta on 1 June 2024 and the Cheshire Barrio Fiesta sa Cheshire East on 27 July 2024.

We have been involved in and supported various Filipino communities and groups across the country. Our involvement ranges from facilitating events, assisting with design concepts, choreography, curating, exchange of expertise, managing touring group, funding, and more.
