Hello,
        My name is Aurea Garcia Director of Grupo Isla Del Encanto. The inspiration behind Grupo Isla Del Encanto is my Niece Melany it was my way of showing her how beautifull the Puerto Rican Culture is, and every time I hear my Niece speak about how proud she is of  being Puerto Rican that make's it all worth it. And when I hear that we are among ONE of the best Puerto Rican Folkloric Dance groups in Cleveland that also make's it worth it. Everyone just love's to see this group sing and dance. I would like to take this time to thank my Husband Carlos for his support and his great idea of this web site, Thank you. I also would like to thank all of our sponsers and supporters, and the Parents that are always there  for me and for the group. I also want to Thank everyone in the Group for there outstanding performance at every event that they have been a part of, and for all their hard work throughout the year. Thank you and I love all you kids.

Hi, 
   My name is Jessenia but they call me Jessy. I'am the oldest in the group, and  I  love to dance. I am the team Captain of the girls. This Group means the world to me. And I also have three Brothers in the group Jose, Nael and Angelo and they also love it too. I dance with my brother Jose (Oly).

My name is Yesmary but everyone calls me Marita. My cousin Melany told me about the group before it was started. I was one of the first to join and I just love it.  When I go on vacation I just can't wait to come back so that I sing and dance again. I have been with the group for five years and we started dancing the Thriller and a hawaiian dance. and three years later we started dancing Hispanic dances, Plena, Bomba and the Reggeton and part Tango. And I like the group because we go all over Cleveland, and guess what I am 100% Puerto Rican.
