The SAMAHAN Filipino American Performing Arts and Education Center, Inc. (SAMAHAN FAPAEC) was organized in 1974 by the late Dr. Lolita Diñoso Carter with the purpose of helping the Filipino American youth acquire pride in their cultural heritage, by providing them opportunity to participate and experience Philippine dance and music as a social, recreational activity, and as a professional performance venue.
Becoming a 501(c)3 non-profit organization immediately after its founding, SAMAHAN has endeavored for more than four decades to fulfill this primary purpose of advancing the Filipinos’ beautiful culture, reaching out to a large number of youth and to the San Diego community. SAMAHAN has continued to sustain a milieu for the San Diego community to appreciate the Filipinos’ cultural arts through dance, music and living traditions, all to enrich cultural diversity.
SAMAHAN holds Filipino folk dance classes for children, starting at age 5, teens and adults. New students are accepted year-round and are welcome to sit in to any of our classes free of charge before enrolling. Students may perform for Samahan’s main productions, such as annual concerts and festival.
