Looking for a way to keep your kids active and engaged over the summer break? Sign them up for a ridiculously fun kids hip hop dance camp! There will be dancing, games, interactive activities, singing, arts and crafts, choreography, concerts and more! The kids will enjoy sweating, laughing, making new friends, being creative, playing and chilling together! There will always be a performance for the parents at the end of the camp.

This camp is designed to be a fun, nurturing environment for the kids to enjoy some creative dance and play time. Our camps offer your kids a break from academia and a chance to learn through movement, experimentation and creativity.

See you on the dance floor!

Animals, both real and imagined, are integral to Asia Pacific origin stories, religious stories, myths, epics, folktales, and village scenes, often bearing symbolic significance such as good luck, prosperity, protection, and abundance. FAUNA features artwork from the East-West Center Collection that highlights animals of the land, sky, and waterways. These works represent cultures of Australia, Bangladesh, Canada (First Nations), China, Guam, Hawaiʻi, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Torres Strait Islands, the United States, and Vietnam. Art mediums featured include calligraphy, ceramics, paintings, puppets, sculpture, textiles, and woodcarving. This imagery reminds us of the interdependence and interconnectedness among animals, people, and the environment.

Spam can harps, rice bag drums, tin can gongs, and other musical instruments made from repurposed rubbish are on display at Hamilton Library Bridge Gallery now through mid-August. All instruments were custom built by Benjamin Fairfield, author of the illustrated children's book Kani Ka 'Opala: How can garbage sing? Fairfield (lecturer at UH and Hawai'i Pacific University) was featured last October on the Conversation as a climate-action-artist-in-residence with the State Commission on Climate Change in 2025. Come view, play, and listen to an assortment of rubbish instruments. A great way to celebrate Earth Day and aloha 'aina.
