About Us
Why Art Matters
Upcoming Shows
Movement has always been my language as a movement artist. I explore dance through hula, blending abstract with tradition, utilizing ribbons, scarves, teddy bears, kids’ toys, home décor, and everyday objects — transforming the ordinary into something expressive and alive. My work isn’t about perfection; it’s about play, connection, and the beauty of motion in unexpected places.
Through performances and community events, I invite audiences of all ages and abilities to see themselves in movement — to imagine, to feel, and maybe even to join in. For me, dance transcends choreography; it’s a way of building connection, creativity, and community.
Welcome to Alika in Motion. Let’s keep moving together, exploring the art of ribbon dance and more.

Her performance draws from ribbon dance, contemporary flow, and folkloric gesture, creating a luminous offering that honors the garden’s cultural roots while inviting fresh wonder.
Set beneath lantern-lit trees and surrounded by koi ponds and stone pathways, Alika’s piece invites viewers to pause, feel, and connect—whether with their own inner spirit or the playful presence of the Yokai.

Art isn’t just something to watch — it’s something to live. Whether through dance and movement, music, painting, writing, or participating in community events, the arts create space for connection and creativity. Everyone’s expression looks different, and that’s what makes it powerful. Movement artists, like those who practice ribbon dance and more, showcase unique forms of expression.
