2017-2018 Queen & Princesses of House of Peru
with our Founder and Past President Gladys Novinger & George Novinger
Gladys & George Novinger supported the young generations of House of Peru members through donation of typical Peruvian costumes, free dance classes and sharing knowledge about the Peruvian culture.
The success of our Queens program is partially thanks to our dedicated parents who not only take the girls to dance practices and Queens Organization meetings but also volunteer at all House of Peru events. Thank you!
