Briana Dominguez, 15, dances the bomba on Feb. 22, 2023 in Riverdale as part of an Afro-Caribbean celebration. Each dancer takes their turn in the middle of the dance circle or the batey. Dominguez said she bonded with the other dancers while practicing movements. “Because I’m Afro-Latina, it warms my heart to do it. Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to dance,” said Dominguez.
