Maui Aerial Arts was thrilled to be part of Adaptation Dance Theatre’s Dance Maui 2017.   Dance Maui  brings together the many culturally-diverse dance organizations of Maui and gives them a platform to present their art as one dance community.  The festival was a beautiful display of dance and culture on Maui and we were so inspired by the talent and passion of the dancers.  Check out Paul Janes-Brown review here.
