we’re on a one-year hiatus. we’ll be back in 2027!

After much reflection, our team has made the intentional decision to take a one-year hiatus. We know that's big news and we want you to hear it directly from us.

This pause is purposeful. We are stepping back so we can come back stronger, with a revamped program that better serves our students, instructors, and community.

We are not going away. 💛

Kinnaly exists because of you; your children, your trust, and your belief in keeping Lao culture alive and thriving. That mission has not changed, and it never will.

What we've built together is something truly special, and we do not take your support lightly. This is not an ending. It is a breath before something even better.

Thank you for your continued love and support of Kinnaly and the POM Foundation. We can't wait to share what's coming next. Please stay tuned for updates over the next year!

Kinnaly: Preserving Lao Culture Through Music & Dance

Kinnaly is a traditional Lao music and dance program based in Seattle, Washington and dedicated to educating and inspiring youth ages 4-18. Since 2002, we’ve been committed to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of Laos—an art form that has been at risk of fading since the Vietnam War era.

Beyond the classroom, Kinnaly offers students immersive, hands-on experiences that bring Lao traditions to life. From performances to cultural exchanges, our program provides opportunities that foster pride, connection, and a deeper understanding of Lao music and dance. These experiences make Kinnaly more than just a class—they make it a community.

Join us in keeping Lao traditions alive for future generations!

Kinnaly is a program of POM Foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit.
