Sterling, Colorado —The Utah Valley University Cultural Envoy
Dancers from the Islands of Polynesia will perform two shows at Northeastern
Jr. College this upcoming April 4-5, 2013 in the Dorothy Corsberg Theatre inside
the E.S. French Hall. Shows will be held at 7 p.m. nightly and are expected to
last about an hour and half.
Utah Valley University Cultural Envoy’s Legacy began in 2001
with three primary objectives: support education, promote cultural diversity and
build partnerships with the community. Legacy, a Polynesian dance team, was
formed because the Polynesian community was growing exponentially in Utah.
Island natives who came to Utah for the educational opportunities and the
excellent value-based community were struck by the vast difference between Utah
Valley and the exotic islands. Legacy provides a bit of home for these
students.
Members of the dance team represent all six of the main
Polynesian Islands. Although predominantly Polynesian, people of many
nationalities dance in Legacy, and the team invites all those interested to
perform with them.
Legacy performed at various venues at the 2002 Olympic Winter
Games in Salt Lake City and on a promotional tour in Las Vegas, Nev. The team
members are looking forward to sharing their culture with all walks of life. It
is a participatory performance. Children and others are invited to learn how to
Hula, Slap dance, do fire knife dancing and much more.
Cost for the performance will be: $5.00 (General Admission),
$20.00(Family Pass of 8 People) $3.00 (High School Students with I.D.). Feel

questions you might have.
