 The gentle breeze of monsoon rains in the Philippines give new life and bloom to vegetation in many parts of the country. This is called “amihan’ as spoken in the vernacular language. It is also defined in many ways. A mythological deity, a name of monsoon and a big entertainment studio. 

In the burgeoning population of North Texas, amihan is a new ensemble, a first of its class and a society of dancers culled from various terpsichorean skills of different genesis. Folk dances from various regions of the Philippines, Latin steps from South America, ballroom sways from Europe and modern interpretation of various music and cultures from different countries. 

Nine men and women from different strata of professional industries banded together and ‘amihan-ed themselves’ and gave dancing a new meaning to what is called “ artistic interpretive folk dancing”. A nurse, a lawyer, a businessman, a chef, a Physical Education graduate, a schoolteacher, a retailer , a homemaker, and a promising social content creator.

They are the hearts of the group. Amihan, The Heart of Dance.
