During times of great uncertainty, it's more important than ever that we take pride in our values and have a deeper love for ourselves by not faltering under pressures of negative influence.

Please enjoy this short FEATURE FRIDAY clip of our sweet and sassy Juniors from our Summer Virtual Concert! PS.

For today’s FEATURE FRIDAY... we are soooo happy to share with you all, these little cuties who stole our heart, our PreBallet and PreJazz kiddos choreographed by @janakmott and @diasfam_camille !! 😍😍😍 We are currently living in a world that is almost “LIMITING” our way of life; such as touching, seeing each others beautiful faces, traveling, and the list goes on. But let’s take a moment to INHALE and EXHALE. Like this song says, “don’t stop, let it roll” ... And for us, that’s letting all of your worries away and living that childlike freedom of being LIMITLESS! We are thankful for music and dance! And so we encourage all of our kiddos to keep going and all the parents to join hands with them! Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️

For tonight’s FEATURE FRIDAY, we would like to present to you our Boogiedown Hawaii Company members 💯💯💯 It’s been a bit of a challenge for dance studios here on the islands, being restricted to continue to stay home and learn from zoom.

It’s really just been learning to adapt and adjust and these kids have been doing AMAZINGGG at that!! So let’s show some love to @boogiedown ❤️❤️❤️ Choreo and video done by BDH Teen/Sr Director, @beccadee311 ! Praying soon we will be back at it again 😁💢💯❗️❤️
