OUR STORY

EST. 2011

LH Combine has been serving its community since 2011 as a team originally of krump dancers, evolving into a development programme and event producer collective. It houses a collective of artists who, although connect through dance, are skilled in music, DJing, photography, videography, and MCing.LH Combine originated based in Otara, Auckland founded by Ennaolla Paea-Vaega who directed at the time “Lighthouse” team. Over the years, and adding Ken Vaega’s leadership to the mix, Ken & Ennaolla lead LH Combine’s evolution, serving the needs of those involved and as the need and dreams evolved, so did the vision and the team.Serving many through it’s various seasons, LH Combine continues with a key focus to produce spaces that educate, elevate and empower creative artists. This is done through dance projects, programmes and events that LH Combine team members produce.
