In celebration of AAPI (Asian and Pacific Islanders) month, PAACOM proudly presents a weekend full of Tahitian Dance & Drumming and Samoan Dance workshops!
Nico San Nicolas and Jacinta Ma’ae are back for another round of amazing workshops. New this year - PAACOM’s very own Tulutuluimoana Cox will be teaching a very special Siva Samoa on Sunday. You won’t want to miss out!
This engagement is supported by the Arts Midwest GIG Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts & the City of Novi. Supported in part by a grant from the Western Arts Alliance Advancing Indigenous Performance Touring Fund and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
