Nikoria Hula Dancers performing at a recent Hawaii 5-0 Party. | Michelle, Gayle, Ann, Nicole, & Amelia |
Our Mission:
In the tradition of Katherine Dunham and La Meri, the Nikoria Dancers (formerly the Nicole & Gloria English Dancers of a previous decade) present interpretive works of ethnic dance from around the world, specializing in Oriental, Mid-East, Latin, and Tropical Dance Forms. The Nikoria Dancers are resurrected in honor of the late Gloria English. The Nikoria mission is to educate the public about various ethnic dances from different cultures as a unifying experience.
