In the beginning...
We started teaching our children about their Polynesian culture while they were toddlers and to our delight the Pacific Northwest was the perfect backdrop. Eventually we took them on learning excursions to Seattle, Olympia & Vancouver Washington. We believe that learning can come from many sources and it is important for us to instill a love for knowledge. Today our passion for dance has opened many doors and one of them leading to a new adventure... our very own nonprofit.
