Cultural
Through cultural music, dance, and stories, PSA Barkada celebrates Filipino culture and identity and spreads this appreciation throughout the entire campus community.
Barkada welcomes dancers and non-dancers of all skill levels, and serves to create a tight-knit community within PSA. Our talents spread across cultural dancing choreography, traditional music performance, and videography.
Barkada participates in events year-round – most notably, at FACT, a conference hosted by UIUC; Battle of the Bamboo, hosted by FIA at the University of Illinois at Chicago; and FCN, our very own celebration of our Filipino heritage. In addition, we perform at various events around campus and within the Champaign-Urbana community, collaborating with other organizations such as the Asian American Association and the Taiwanese American Students Club.
