Dancers from at least two different cultures are challenged to reach out beyond their comfort zone to creatively weave features from their own culture with that of other culture/s and to dance together.

The aim is to encourage people from diverse cultures to come together to learn from each other, share and integrate their ideas.

This is a biennial project with NZ Diversity Action Programme and is part of the Diversity Forum 2009.

This year there are performers from Uruguay, Latin, Taiwan, China, Philippines, Iran, Maori and Samoa background. Guest performers include dancers from NZ Chinese Association (Auckland Inc), Raymond Alefosio, and Andrew Cesan and Simon Watts from TMC, runner-up in New Zealand's Got Talent 2009, participants in the World Hip Hop at Las Vegas 2009 and guest of the European Tap Dance Festival 2010.
