Created especially for Still & Moving Center students to perform at the Pan Pacific Festival 2025 in Honolulu this June\, this piece draws on the deep cultural connections between the Portuguese island of Madeira and the Hawaiian Islands—linked across time and tide through music\, migration\, and the legacy of the ukulele from Portugal. \nWhether you’re a seasoned dancer or just starting out\, your movement\, your story\, and your presence are what will bring this piece to life. You’ll explore Portuguese folk rhythms\, the power of the elements of nature\, and the legacy of cultural exchange—all through a beautifully choreographed contemporary lens. \nCome dance with us. Be part of something meaningful. Sign up today to carry the story forward. \nCongratulations to our 2 Scholarship winners! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jessica’s showreel of three performances: https://vimeo.com/381404621/767a3e4cd2 \nJessica’s latest professional dance creation: IVY – My Homeless Lover. https://vimeo.com/763607040/b1b9447443 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jessica Eirado Enes\n \n \n \n \n \n Jessica Eirado Enes is an Italian-Portuguese Contemporary Dance performer and choreographer whose career has danced across continents\, from Europe to the United States as far as Hawai’i\, for over a decade. Her path has led her to collaborate with companies such as Not Standing/Alexander Vantournhout (Belgium)\, Black Label Movement (US)\, and My Homeless Lover (Italy/Belgium)\, which she co-directs with Edward Oroyan. \nIn Jessica Eirado Enes’ newest work\, MADEIRA\, created specifically for the students of Still & Moving Center to perform at Pan Pacific Festival 2025\, Jessica and her dancers explore the compelling relationship between the volcanic island of Madeira in Portugal and the Hawaiian Islands – distant in geography\, yet mirroring each other in spirit. Rugged cliffs\, fertile soil\, the whisper of the wind through lush canopies\, and the ever-present song of the waves bind them across oceans. But their bond deepens through a shared story – one of migration\, music\, and quiet revolution. \nOn August 23\, 1879\, aboard the English ship Ravenscrag\, three Portuguese emigrants—Augusto Dias\, Manuel Nunes\, and José do Espírito Santo – arrived in Honolulu Harbor with a three-year contract to work on the plantations. Cabinetmakers and musicians\, they carried with them a small stringed instrument known as the machete and the skills to play and craft it. They could not have foreseen the legacy they were about to seed: a four-stringed wonder that would leap into the heart of Hawaiian culture and echo far beyond\, becoming what we now call the ukulele—the “jumping flea”. \nIn MADEIRA\, eight dancers move to early ukulele music\, channeling the raw energy of the elements—earth\, water\, wind\, and fire—that define both island landscapes and their ancient relationships to nature. Jessica’s choreography draws from the pulse of Portuguese folk dances\, stitched together with memories of her avós (grandparents) spinning and stomping at village festivals in the mountains north of Braga\, Portugal.  \nIt is said the machete first came from Braga as the braguinha to Madeira\, Portugal\, and onto Hawai’i. So one of the Hawaiian ukulele’s earliest ancestors came from Braga. How apt that Jessica – a fairly newcomer to Hawai’i\, has predecessors from Braga\, Portugal – just as the ukulele has! \nThis piece is a journey—through memory\, myth\, and migration. A crossing of oceans and eras. A dance of hands that built\, strings that sang\, and islands that\, though far apart\, hum in harmony. \nGet to know a bit more about Jessica by watching a snippet of her dancing in these videos.  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get the Still & Moving App\n \n APPLE APP STORE\n \n GOOGLE PLAY STORE URL:https://stillandmovingcenter.com/ja/event/madeira-dance-committed-performance-class-for-pan-pacific-festival-with-jessica-eirado-enes/ LOCATION:グローバル\, ハワイ\, United States CATEGORIES:Dance,Women ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://stillandmovingcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/jessica-performance-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Honolulu:20250502T184500 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Honolulu:20250613T194500 DTSTAMP:20260420T032553 CREATED:20250417T195912Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250524T190528Z UID:31599-1746211500-1749843900@stillandmovingcenter.com SUMMARY:Performance Salsa Rueda 7 Weeks Series with Gordon Walker.

You’ll learn key calls and combinations\, hand signals\, musical timing\, and the joy of dancing in unison with a group. \nMost importantly\, this is your chance to perform!

She sings and plays ʻukulele while dancing hula\, inspired by the example set by her teacher.  \nBorn to Japanese parents in Hawaii\, Doris grew up speaking both Japanese and English. A true daughter of the islands\, Doris exudes a vivacious warmth and genuineness for what she loves and believes in. Doris is well-loved for sharing her aloha. Starting from her years working at Hilton Hawaiian Village\, Doris loves to share every good thing her island home has to offer. Whether in a teaching or ambassador capacity\, Doris lends an infectious enthusiasm. \nDoris took her first dance class at the University of Hawai’i\, where she met now-husband Mark in a ballroom dance class. Hula ʻauwana has been a passion of hers since 2013. Steadily absorbing hula with our kumu hula Mālia Helelā has increased Doris’ love of the dance\, and correspondingly\, her desire to learn the Hawaiian language. Doris humbly aspires to embody the sacred grace and beauty of hula\, and to pass on the love of this cultural treasure. She gives liberally of her hula talents and knowledge.  Hula continues to make her a better person as it is imperative to dance with a pure heart and joyful smile. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get the Still & Moving App\n \n APPLE APP STORE\n \n GOOGLE PLAY STORE URL:https://stillandmovingcenter.com/ja/event/hawaiiana-talk-story-with-aunty-doris-in-person-and-online/ LOCATION:グローバル\, ハワイ\, United States CATEGORIES:Dance,Healthy Living,Mindful Fitness,Women,World Culture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://stillandmovingcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/unnamed-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Honolulu:20250606T190000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Honolulu:20250607T203000 DTSTAMP:20260420T032553 CREATED:20250410T181216Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250607T213443Z UID:31541-1749236400-1749328200@stillandmovingcenter.com SUMMARY:“Home...lt's not where you think it is” Performances June 6 & 7 DESCRIPTION:An evening of dance exploring home\n \n \n \n \n \n Produced by Elizabeth Lentz-Hill\n \n \n \n \n \n In collaboration with the Still & Moving Center\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “Home...lt's not where you think it is”\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Performances June 6 & 7\, 20257:00 pm Lobby opens7:30-8:30 pm Performance 1024 Queen St Honolulu\, HI 96814 \nTickets: $12 general admission with a sliding scale option up to $100 to contribute more towards supporting the performance and production!  \n \n Sign up for June 7\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n“Home” hints:-Park at Whole Foods or on the street.-The performance is an in-studio show rather than on a traditional stage.

There is an indefinable type of energy that leaps from her to her students. These qualities projected not only from Ms. Lentz-Hill but also from the students in the residency as they worked with her. The dancers left her sessions with knowledge of a dynamic energy\, knowing they had something of value to contribute to the community around them so much greater than an ability to be a technically sound dancer.

That moment revealed not only a dream partnership in tango\, but also a shared path in life. \nSince then\, Maxi and Karu have danced together across Europe\, performing in countries such as Denmark\, Spain\, the Netherlands\, and Belgium. They also competed together in the Tango World Championship for the first time\, proudly reaching the finals.
