As Asian Pacific American Heritage Month comes to a close, one East Meadow dance group brings their Polynesian culture to Long Island.

Island Inspiration NY spreads the spirit of Aloha through live performances and interactive learning. They perform for a variety of ages and audiences – including nonprofits, fundraisers, nursing homes, and private and corporate events.

Founder Precious Sahagun says sharing the spirit and stories of their ancestors is key to their performances, which include dance, music, and even fire.
