Hoike 2013

by Tijana Graham

We have decided to postpone our Hoike till further notice. The venue we were looking at would not accommodate the amount of dancers we have.
If you know of a place that can accommodate the staging of 60-70 dancers & an audience of approximately 250 people. Please let us know. We hope to be able to find something for September.
