Formed in 1970 as the Family Choir of the Immaculate Conception Church, Seattle, WA, the Filipiniana Dance Co quickly found an audience for its specialty programs. Drawing from the many ethnic traditions found in the Philippines, the company dances to create an exciting intermingling of very different cultures. The performance represents the many influences of the Highland Tribal, Spanish, Islamic, and contemporary cultures, but remain uniquely Filipino. They have earned accolades from the Filipino community for its respect in folk traditions and reverence for the family.
