The Mahea Uchiyama Center for International Dance (M.U.C.I.D.)provides
an environment where students of all ages and abilities
can take part in a holistic multicultural dance experience
through traditional training, lecture, demonstrations,
performance opportunities and workshops with master
teachers. The Center approaches dance as a manifestation
of the human spirit, rather than merely a collection
