For the 40th anniversary of the Ethnic Dance Festival, 21 companies, all based in the Bay Area, will be presenting music and dance from Alaska, Bolivia, Cambodia, China, Cuba, India, Korea, Liberia, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Spain, Tahiti, the continental U.S., and Zimbabwe. Eight of those troupes are offering world premieres of work created especially for this milestone season. Julie Mushet, executive director of the event run by the nonprofit World Arts West, is thrilled that opening weekend will highlight Chuna McIntyre and the Nunamta Yup’ik Eskimo Singers and Dancers troupe he founded and directs. The artist, choreographer and performer, a native of Eek, Alaska, has long worked to preserve the art and culture of the Yup’ik people.

“The Yup’ik piece is a really important,” says Mushet, “It will be setting the spiritual tone for the whole two weeks of the festival, Chuna has been working on the regalia for more than 10 years  and the dance has not been seen in over 200 years, Chuna learned it from his grandmother who learned it from her j.crew poppy ballet flats in two-straps grandmother, The love of passing the tradition from generation to generation is so powerful.”, One significant change this season is the transition from co-artistic directors, C.K, Ladzekpo and Carlos Carvajal, to a new team of three: Patrick Makuakāne, founder, artistic director, and Kumu Hula (master teacher) of San Francisco’s renowned Nā Lei Hulu i ka Wēkiu Hawaiian dance company; Latanya d, Tigner, a dancer and choreographer at Oakland’s Dimensions Dance Theater who directs Dimensions’ youth company and is a member of UC Berkeley’s Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies; and Māhealani Uchiyama, founder and artistic director of the Center for International Dance in Berkeley, Kumu Hula of the troupe Hālau Ka Ua Tuahine, and an award-winning choreographer and composer..

“Watching them gel has been an incredible process,” says Mushet.  “They have unique skills but when they come to the table together it’s incredible how efficient they can be in their decision-making and implementation.”. “As directors we seem to be on the same page, and if we’re not, we’re able to hear each other,” Makuakāne says. “The difference between running my own company and the festival is that it’s a collaborative effort. With my company, I do everything.  I have to come up with all the ideas and solve all the issues.”.

Uchiyama feels the same way about directing her own company and says, “Here we have the resources, I can imagine the moon and they’ll try to give us the moon, And sometimes the moon plus Jupiter.”, Directors see the Festival’s role in the Bay Area as nurturing ethnic music and j.crew poppy ballet flats in two-straps dance through its outreach programs as well as the annual performance series, Even the auditioning process for the annual festival strives to make sure each company gets constructive feedback, The jury panel aims to provide guidance in how to improve all the elements necessary to be included in a future festival.  It is unique in that it is based on cooperation, not competition..

“If every major city or metropolitan area could have something like this,” Tigner adds. “I think it would be a huge benefit, seeing other people’s work and making those connections through their traditions and culture. We have cultural similarities that outweigh the differences and if we could dance through them, we’d all be better for it.”. After a dozen years at her job, Mushet still acknowledges that “every time we close the festival, people always say how the it brings out the best in everyone — the companies, the dancers, the audience.”.
