Shakti Dance Movement is an all-woman Tribal Fusion Belly Dance company in Honolulu, Hawaii. Their all original choreography, cutting edge performances, and dedication to the divine feminine have gained them notable recognition in the dance community.

Capoeira Cordão de Ouro Hawaii, under the direction of Instrutor Duas Duzias, blends martial arts, dance, acrobatics, and music.  Don’t miss out on their playful, energetic show.

Tiffany Harrington, a Maryland native, has an absurd comic style that pokes fun at everything from racism to homosexuality and social mores.  A semi-finalist in the 2006 New York Institute of Technology Comedy Competition, and a crowd favorite, Tiffany is a (currently) undiscovered gem in the Hawai’i comedy world.

And, you all know Quadraphonix featuring Taimane Gardner.  Their unique eclectic sound has been drawing you to Ong King for a while now.  So, come get drawn in again by the ukelele prodigy and the ubertalent that is Quadraphonix.  But, you may not know 3x (that’s “three to the power of X”).  Jonathan, Shree, and Chris have put together a new band with just as much energy, and perhaps more experimentation. Definitely danceable, soul-charge-able music.

Jegaan Singh Faye found the guitar while living in the Philippines, and found his voice in Minneapolis. He takes a life lived round the world and puts it into his lyrics, tones, and soulful voice. 
Matt Love, our favorite Waikiki Bucket Drummer, will be there to get the dancing started.  And, don’t forget Cody Pierce and Manwich Doctors, who are going to bless us with their spoken word.

All of this will be happening in the exquisite backdrop of two talented artists: Bethany Georges and Elliott Baskerville. Born in Spain, Georges has lived all over the US but calls Hawai’I home.  She enjoys finding delicious combinations of hot and cold colors and focusing on the optical illusions that most people gloss over as being one color. 

Baskerville, known mostly by the name VANWIZLE, creates art that flows like water, and has been doing so since he was 5.  A Chicago native, he invites you to step inside his world and let go of your version of reality.
Come by Ong King First Friday in February to get your mind rocked by all these talented people.
