Join us for Summer Dance Showcase, our Live

Friday on June 5th from 6 to 9 p.m. This free event features Iona
Contemporary Dance Theatre, Tau (y2), Convergence Dance Theatre, and Sangha
Dance Theatre.
This program will highlight many contemporary dance
forms – hula, ballet, modern dance, belly dancing, break dancing, fire
dancing, and tango, plus fusions of traditional and contemporary dance.
Don’t be late, there are lots of performers in this jam-packed
show!
Iona Contemporary Dance Theatre kicks off the evening as
one of its costumed, stilt-walking performers entertains guests on the front
lawn. The group blends Japanese Butoh with Western-style modern dance. They
perform in many venues in Hawai‘i and the mainland.
Tau Dance Theater’s youth group, Tau (y2) will
showcase keiki girl dancers in a fantastic performance. Artistic director Peter
Rockford Espiritu leads the group, which combines ballet, modern dance, and
hula.
Convergence Dance Theatre features dancers who perform
modern, improvisation, ballet, and jazz dance. This talented group is led by
Jennifer Butler Shannon, who received her MFA in dance from UH

dancers from Chang’s show “Puja: Gods and Monsters,” with
Anasma Vuong, Meissoun Gasser, Eduardo Rodrigues, and Michael
McElhaney.
SkillRoy will astound you in an amazing break dancing
performance. He started his dance career at the age of 11 and is now one of the
finest break dancers in Hawai‘i. SkillRoy performs both locally and
internationally.
The Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps will perform a salute
to the military. As one of the U.S. Army’s premiere musical organizations,
this group has inspired audiences throughout the nation and abroad for nearly
half a century.
