The following is an accurate description posted on VolunteerSolutions.com:

Borinquen Dance Theatre, Inc. is a non-profit organization formed primarily to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of contemporary Latino dance and the Puerto Rican culture.

Description:
Borinquen Dance Theatre, Inc. sponsors performances, promotes instruction, commissions works, facilitates the exchange of ideas among dancers, teachers and dance enthusiasts, and heightens awareness and value of the Puerto Rican culture.

History:
For over 20 years the Borinquen Dance Theatre has performed throughout the Northeast US and Canada. For the majority of those years, Borinquen has been housed, and been under the fianancial auspices of Hochstein School of Music and Dance in Rochester. Recently, the Borinquen received a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts to help the organization incorporate and file for its own 501(c)(3). In December, 2002, the Borinquen received its notice of non-profit status from the federal government. The Borinquen has now set up an office to conduct its business and to promote the dance company.
