To inform and inspire the general public about the range and quality of dance on the Big Island, it has invited eight studios from around the island and two invited guest performing groups who have recently garnered national attention showcasing a hybrid genre which integrates Hawaiian and contemporary dance languages: Peter Rockford-Fspiritu's Tau Dance Theater and Kea Kapahua's UH-Hilo Dance Ensemble.
