Why hire DC Hippodrome?
Aloha DC Hippodrome Variety Show Entertainment, LLC is an eclectic dance entertainment company founded by Kinikia of Fairfax, VA. The director has been a prominent Hawaiian Luau dancer, fire dancer and belly dancer in the DC, VA and MD area for over 10 years. Her costume designs for solo or group performances are unique and authentic.Her professional performance has brought great reviews and accomplishment for all artists she has worked with. DC Hippodrome Entertainment has established three performance shows for full evening entertainment in Polynesian Luau from the South Pacific, Fiesta dance from Latin Caribbean countries and Belly Dance of the Middle East.
Folks Are Still Talking
I gave my husband a retirement luau party on July 21, 2012 at our home. Amongst other things, I hired Kinikia to provide authentic hula dancing. She and her partner were FANTASTIC!!! She really knows her stuff and truly pleased each and every one of our guests including my four year old cousin. He sat spellbound, in one place, watching them perform for about an hour. He was soooo funny. So, I can truly say that the crowd from four to probably 80 thoroughly enjoyed the performance, the chance to participate in the dances, and taking pictures that they will cherish for ever. They are still talking about this fabulous entertainment. Folks said they felt like they were in Hawaii in my backyard. And, my husband....OMG. He was on Cloud 9 and is still talking about it. He is my fan for life! This was the best surprise gift I could ever have given him. He loved the performance!!!!!
Folks, Kinikia is fabulous and is a great joy to work with. While we talked a lot via e-mail or phone, I had never met her until that day. She's everything you want.....great performer, very passionate about her profession, on time, does what she says she's going to do, reasonably priced, and communicates extremely well via e-mail or phone. I am so impressed with her and her customer focus. You could truly feel the passion that she and her other dancer have for their profession and the people they are working with.
I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again and again. Kinikia, thank you for helping to make my party "the party of the century" as stated by many of our guests.
Response from DC Hippodrome:
Mahalo Ann for taking the time to share your experience! Thanks for the inspiration! Best, Kinikia

Blew us away!
Kinikia was very communicative, following up with me via email and the phone. She worked with me and my budget to put together an amazing show for my Tiki party. She and her crew showed up slightly early to get ready, and were friendly, professional (and good looking!). The actual performance surpassed my expectations. The costumes looked authentic. The island dances captured my guests' attention, and the fire dances blew everyone away! They made sure to engage the audience, even calling for willing participants. I wasn't sure my friends were the participating kind of people, and were a little shy at first, but by the end, people did not have to be asked to volunteer. My favorite was watching my male guests follow-the-leader in the war dance where they stuck out their tongues, made scary faces, and slapped their chests. At the end of the show, my friends loved the opportunity to get their photos taken with the performers. Overall, this was a positive experience and DC Hippodrome's show was what transcended this party from average to unforgettable.

About
Join us December for a Luau and Caribbean Pre New Years Eve Bash. See website for more details!
We have been entertaining collectively over 15 years. There is no other group quite like us in the DC, VA or MD area.
Our dancers have performed in Canada, St. Thomas, all over the US. Our fire dancers have also performed at Sea World in Florida. We also provide steelpan drum for our dances.
What our clients say: (Luau) With the help of a good music DJ and
already beach like atmosphere at the restaurant,
DC Hippodrome delivered! My wife said she
loved the Hawaiian dancers. I threw her a
surprise 40th Hawaiian themed birthday party. It
would not have been a complete luau without
those dancers. All my guests were impressed.
They were professional, performed all the island
dances
very well, and exceeded my expectations.

package)
Hi Cynthia, Everything was great and all my
guests had a wonderful time. Next time we
will have a fiesta with lots of salsa, I wish I knew
you did that earlier -- you are very
talented. I got the pictures thanks! I will follow-up
with Luis on my order.
Thanks for everything.
Naomi
(Fiesta Program)
I just want to let you know that our Latin
American Heritage celebration was a success. I
received many compliments from our colleagues
about the event. Special thanks go to Kinikia,
Serena and Joven. They did well and danced for
us even under the sweltering heat.
