Kalama Polynesian Dancers were featured at a huge community event at Anthem Highlands Community in Broomfield Colorado this past Saturday. We had live drummers, 3 beautiful wahine dancers, two male dancers, and the exciting fire knife dance of Samoa.

This past weekend was a hectic and crazy one! I am very proud of my group for doing an outstanding job at the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival at Sloan’s Lake for the third year in a row! We had such a crowd! Tons of family showed up, past clients, and hard core Kalama supporters. Keep visiting the website because videos will be posted soon! Right after the Dragon Boat chaos began. Just like every year all the dancers went RUNNING to shows and events. While musicians, dancers, and fire knife dancer stayed in Lakewood to perform at a wedding Akalike and Kahunani went to Milliken Colorado and entertained the Harris Family. They are so wonderful, laid-back, and awesome people. They have even shared some of their pictures. Last year baby Abby was baking in the oven and now she is dressed in her cute Aloha Attire! Enjoy some of these cute pics! [caption id="attachment_503" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Ellen and Astrid with Abby"] [/caption]

On June 5th we were honored to perform in Boulder with our friends from Enchanted INK. Our host WOLF was bringing together family to celebrate the Wedding of her son and new daughter- in – law. To celebrate this she chose to honor the elements- earth. wind. fire, water… with the Boulder Reservoir in the background, the POW WOW, a Samoan Chief, their tribal Chief, fire poi, fire knife dance, drums, dances honoring the land, and the wind blowing throughout our performances… I think we accomplished what we were all looking for. The spirit of their ancestors and the Aloha Spirit of ours! [caption id="attachment_329" align="alignnone" width="200" caption="Little Native American Dancer"] [/caption]
