Its members belong to different cultural associations in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., home to the largest population of Bolivian descent in the United States. They work to promote unity, camaraderie, and respect among the Bolivian American fraternities, which have grown in number of participants over the past years. In this session, they will talk about their festival traditions, demonstrating and teaching moves from their dances.
