IP Dance Team - Iskwelahang PilipinoIskwelahang Pilipino

The IP Dance Team is a new extracurricular program that started in 2021, to supplement regular IP dance classes. IP made this group for students who want to learn more folk dancing. One of the goals of this program to give our students the opportunity to perform outside of IP Special Events. Another goal for our Dance Team is to raise public awareness of Filipino culture & the Filipino-American community throughout New England.
