Our Mission
We are keeping Portuguese Customs and Traditions
alive by teaching children an appreciation for Portuguese Culture through
traditional music, songs and dance. We perform regularly at the
Hudson Portuguese Club. Everyone is welcome to attend our
performances. We also make every possible effort to accept invitations to
perform at other community festivals and private events.
Our Class
Our first practice class took place in December of
2006. Our class is a unique opportunity for children. It
introduces the American child to European differences by providing
exposure to a foreign language, traditional style costumes and folkloric
dance. At the same time, it's fostering a sense of belonging and
acceptance to the child that has immigrated to America. When their
peers embrace their culture, it becomes special. They become
special. Camaraderie is developed.
Our Performances
We debuted in June of 2007, at the Holy Ghost Festival
at the Hudson Portuguese Club to an audience of approximately two
hundred.
We are pleased and honored to present Grupo Folclórico de Crianças to our
community. Our performances promote self confidence in our children
and pride in the community while keeping Portuguese Customs and
Traditions a part of our past, present and future. |
