Each day spotlights local dance groups in dynamic 30-minute programs—presented twice daily—showcasing the rich intersections of art, culture, and nature.

On October 12, Kayamanan Ng Lahi Philippine Folk Arts presents a 30-minute live performance featuring traditional dances from the Philippines.

About the Dance Group: 

Kayamanan Ng Lahi, translated as “treasures of our people,” is a family-oriented Philippine folk art and dance organization based in Los Angeles. Founded in 1990, their mission is to inspire transformation through cultural understanding and artistic expression, empowering individuals, families, and communities, while enriching society.  

For over 35 years, Kayamanan Ng Lahi has transformed cultural moments into cherished memories—connecting members and audiences across generations through a shared passion for Philippine dance, music, and song. Join Kayamanan on a journey through the Philippines, experiencing the richness and diversity of the island archipelago through cultural folk dance, music, and song.

KaYugto is a vibrant telling of collective stories and legacy, told through the Filipino-American lens.

Explore each page of an ever-evolving narrative, where memory meets movement, and the strong connection to homeland continues to unfold.
