"The theme for Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month in May 2026 is 'Power in Unity: Strengthening Communities Together'."
We are so grateful for these beautiful people who have became a part of our PDM ohana over the past several dance seasons. Together we have created a beautiful Polynesian dance community, "our village." Love the spirit of aloha that's been cultivated throughout our dance classes, dance practices, performances and gatherings. Mahalo, Fa'afetai, Thank you to all of our dance families! ππΊ You have made all the difference to our PDM journey, and we look forward to making many more wonderful memories to come! π
