  • “As far as the Liderato Kultural 2022 is aware, there was no formal “leadership team” for the Cultural dance team until 2019. Before then, it was typically the Cultural Chair and his/her directors. If you have any history about UHFSA Cultural that you would like to share with us, feel free to DM us @UHFSA.Kultura.”
