The Mahea Uchiyama Center for International Dance connects all people through traditional dance and music in order to foster a greater understanding of our shared human history and promote cross-cultural communication.
Since its founding in 1993, the Mahea Uchiyama Center for International Dance (MUCID) has offered ongoing instruction in the performance arts of the Pacific Islands, North & South India, Zimbabwe and the Middle East. Classes for beginners through advanced level adults and children are taught by master teachers. MUCID also offers classes in the Hawaiian language and special workshops on the mbira, a unique musical culture of Zimbabwe.
The center is conveniently located in the beautiful Berkeley City Ballet Building, 1800 Dwight Way in Berkeley. It offers two studios with the latest wood sprung floor and mirrors. It has excellent light and a quiet and inspiring atmosphere.
