Kinnaly: Preserving Lao Culture Through Music & Dance

Kinnaly is a traditional Lao music and dance program based in Seattle, Washington and dedicated to educating and inspiring youth ages 4-18. Since 2002, we’ve been committed to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of Laos—an art form that has been at risk of fading since the Vietnam War era.

Beyond the classroom, Kinnaly offers students immersive, hands-on experiences that bring Lao traditions to life. From performances to cultural exchanges, our program provides opportunities that foster pride, connection, and a deeper understanding of Lao music and dance. These experiences make Kinnaly more than just a class—they make it a community.

Join us in keeping Lao traditions alive for future generations!

Kinnaly is a program of POM Foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit.
