Diana Tayag Lerma has been involved in Pilipino dance since she was 19. She was an original member of the Barangay Dance Company in San Francisco, a founding member of the Larawan Philippine Dance Company, and finally a performing member of the Likha Pilipino Folk Ensemble. Her never-ending passion for Philippine culture and dance has led her to become part of American Center of Philippine Arts. She firmly believes in ACPA's mission in nurturing our community and ethnic identity, especially through our youth. The mother of two children - both of whom are part of ACPA's SEED (Students Enriched in Education and Development) Program - Diana hopes that by sharing her passion with the younger generation, they can connect more fully with their cultural history and hopefully, have a better understanding of what it means to be a Pilipino in America. Diana currently serves ACPA as a dance assistant and co-coordinator of costumes as well as the SEED Program coordinator. Email: diana.lerma@philippinearts.org
