October 17, 2023FANTASTIC!!!!!
All the neighbors who attended absolutely loved the show. Our dancer, Onuhea, was fantastic. She started out with dancing and then gradually the beat got faster. As I looked around the room, people were glued to her. Then she taught the ladies how to do a hula dance. That was fun! The best was when she taught the men how to do the dance. That was hilarious watching the men try to move their hips. She then took each one individually and danced with them. It was priceless! The neighbors are still talking about how wonderful the entertainment was. Onuhea knew how to interact with the group and get them involved. I would definitely recommend her. Thanks for a great show!

What to expect
Sit back and relax as our MC takes you on a 30 to 45 minutes journey through the pacific islands. Our beautiful hula dancers in their authentic attire are graceful as they demonstrate in agility, youth, and skill with their use of handmade implements throughout the numbers. Our hula dancer will invite people out of the audience to participate in learning a HULA, this is always so much fun for all the guest. The Nifo Oti-FIRE knife dance has been passed on for generations with added movements of strength, it is always a spectacular sight added to each event.
