Experience the 2006 three-day festival that illuminates these talented dancers in halau (schools) and individual competitions. These skillful boys and girls celebrate their love of dance through graceful, contemporary `auana and passionate, traditional kahiko.
With each movement, each chant, and each song, an important cultural and historical practice is kept alive. With open arms these keiki embrace the past and sway into the future with aloha in their hearts.
