Raina - March 14, 15, 16, 2008
The Kiki Raina (Tahitian Dance Competition and Cultural Festival) will be held in the "sleepy town" of Merced, CA. On these three days, Merced will not be able to "sleep" with the rythmic beating of the Pahu and Toere drums. Dancers from all over California and other locations come together to showcase their cultural talents. This year, ten of our dancers will be competing in this event. There will be lots of vendors and “ono” (delicious) food and of course, the competition showcase. This is one of many exciting events that you don’t want to miss!!
