There is often a story behind every movement. 🌏🔥

At the World of Cultures Festival in Logan, we asked a member of the Kalinangan Dance Company:

“What does this dance mean?”

Their answer about Sagayan was fascinating - a ritual war dance connected with warding off bad spirits, bringing good luck and attracting attention. ✨

Culture isn't just something we watch.

It's something we can learn from.

What cultural tradition from your background would you love others to understand?

What does your culture do when there’s something to celebrate? ❤️🌏

We asked members of the Mamana Academy of Tongan Arts about Si'eku Lupe - a beautiful dance performed at weddings, birthdays and simply whenever they’re having fun.

Because sometimes culture isn't found in a textbook.

It's found in music, movement, family and celebration. 🇹🇴❤️

What tradition from your culture brings your family together?
