Short Film: 15 Stars formed in 2011, dedicated to passing on traditional dances and music to their Australian born daughters. John Bishop then and now leads the ensemble.

The group is open to anyone and both Tongan and Maori dancers perform with them today. Outside the confines of practice and performances, they socialise together creating a strong sense of community.

15 Stars name represents the 15 islands of the Cook Islands.
