Aunty Janice began her dance career at the age of 3 in her native country of South Korea. There, she grew up performing ballet as well as Korean folk dance. When she immigrated to San Diego as a young girl she found herself being pulled toward Polynesian dance and joined her first group at the age of 13. Over the years she danced for various Polynesian groups and eventually joined Halau ‘O Na Ali’i in 1993, San Diego’s premier Polynesian dance company, where they won several group competition awards and received numerous accolades. It was at Halau ‘O Na Ali’I where Janice first met Michelle and their long lasting friendship and partnership began.  Beyond Halau ‘O Na Ali’I, Janice and Michelle performed with Nonosina in Orange County. Nonosina is widely recognized as the premier Tahitian competition group in the world, where they consistently win top honors competing against groups from throughout the world.
