PERFORMANCES
Kinnaly Lao Traditional Music & Dance has had the great opportunity to perform at many different events and collaborate with prominent organizations within the Lao community. These opportunities allow us to take our students learning outside of the classroom and be fully immersed in new and exciting experiences.

FAQ
How much do you charge for performances?
On average, $400-500 stipend for a small group performance. All funds go back to our program (classroom rent, costumes, supplies, student activities).
What is your availability to perform?
Weekends are most ideal. Weekday performances are difficult as all of our students are in school and have after school activities.
Is there anything to keep in mind for performances?
Please keep in mind that all our dances are all done barefoot and our musicians traditionally need to sit on the floor to play. Also, our performers are ages 4-19 and often require parent chaperones and assistance getting ready. Depending on the performance request, we may ask for things like a dressing room, parents to have access to watch their child(ren) perform.
