Mahalo nui loa for booking us!

We had our luau party this last weekend (about 5 days ago) and we’re still getting compliments and thanks from our guests about the great hula performance. The dancers were beautiful, fantastic dancers, and we can’t wait to hire this group again for our next luau! Great job and thank you so much! -EQ

Dancer were friendly and interactive with the senior residents - all who were in attendance enjoyed very much.

The 2 Hula Dancers did an outstanding performance and had excellent audience participation. They were very graceful, professional, friendly, and their costumes were very colorful and beautiful.

The dancers were great and professional.

Mahana Dance Company was perfect! We requested for 3 dancers and a drummer. I chose them because I read the Company reviews and for their reasonable prices. They performed for my wife’s baby shower. She, our guests and I loved it. The performers danced really well and were super friendly. I would request from this company again.

I was very pleased with the entertainment provided at my Birthday Party. The audience participation was the highlight of the event.

It was 2 dancers instead of 3 but they were so graceful and mesmerizing. My guests truly enjoyed participating in the show 😀 I was very impressed with how easy the girls made difficult dance moves. I highly recommend this company.

Super happy with the teams performance. We had two hula dancers and the fire show. It was amazing! Thank you again!

Aurora and George were amazing entertainment for my Mother’s 85th Birthday Luau. All guests were thrilled with their performance. I loved that they did audience participation and took time to make my Mother feel special.

Sunny made sure their wonderful hula presentation was enjoyed by the right audience. Many Mahalos for making sure those needing some Aloha for Christmas, received it from Maui.

We had 3 dancers from Mahana Dance Company come out to a luncheon we were having for about 60 seniors. The performers did multiple dances from different islands and even did a costume change! They were patient with the seniors and gracious about us being a few minutes behind schedule. Overall, the performance was amazing and it was especially great to have audience participation. The seniors enjoyed themselves immensely and loved the photo opportunity at the end of the performance. I will definitely keep Mahana Dance Company in mind for future events!

We had a Luau for the second graders at our school. The children and adults loved the show! The dancers were great and allowed the kids to participate. The fire dancer was awesome!! Some of my students asked me if the fire was real. :) We will definitely ask them to come back next year!

Response from Mahana Dance Company:
Mahalo for having us!!

Pros: I hired 2 hula dancers, then paid extra 100 for fire dancing. Great costumes and performance. I love how the package comes with audience participation.
Cons: I was kind of expecting more of the fire dancing number. Not to be sexist at all, but I was hoping it'd be anothe person, possibly a guy to perform the fire dancing but it was the girl. She made a mistake too. She spent at least 3-5 mins untangling the firechains. Mistakes happen, that's fine but've performance felt like her number was cut short.
Hire again? Maybe.
Overall, my party went well and my audience had fun because of the performance.

Response from Mahana Dance Company:
Thank you for the good parts of your feedback. But WOW! Some total false expectations here. First, if you were concerned the sex of the fire dancer you could have asked. Second, you must be exaggerating about the poi getting tangled. Iit is impossible to spend 3-5 mins untangling fire poi - dealing with fire anything more 20 seconds and we put it out. I asked our dancer she said it took a second to untangle. Sorry we were not completely up to your standard, but next time we would ensure you have the proper expectations with a more thorough phone call.
Had a Great time the music could have been a little louder and the narration could have been a little louder. The dancers were Great I should have included a couple more dancers.
Thank You

I had a ukulele player and a dancer booked for an event I planned and I couldn't have asked for anything better! They were wonderful! Great people and great entertainment. I would highly recommend to anyone and would use them again!

Great professional dancers helped to make our beach party truly memorable.
Polynesian Entertainment

I hired Mahana Polynesian Entertainment for my son's graduation. The theme was Hawaiian and some of the school families thought a Hawaiian performance would be ideal. The dancers were great. They were on time, the girl dancers engaged the audience and the knife fire dancer had everyone in awe. I highly recommend them.
Fire Performer, Hula Dancer

Mahana Polynesian Dancers did a great performance at our event. They made our guests travel to the South Pacific islands and we really appreciated. The dancers were really nice and took the time to mingle with the crowd, take pictures etc.

My daughters had a bday party luau party for 18 girls. The performer arrived 30 min early and was prepared for the afternoon. She had two costume changes and the girls thought she was awesome. She gave them a brief history of the dances and got them to perform a dance too. My girls and her guest had such a wonderful time and the night ended with the limbo. What a great night! Thank you Mahana for the wonderful entertainment.

Hula Dancer

I hired a hula dancer for my daughter's 1 year old party. The dancer was on time, beautiful and even had several costume changes throughout the performance. She stayed after to take pics with our guests. She was talented, energetic and involved the crowd which really varied in age. I would definitely recommend Mahana to anyone looking for Polynesian entertainment.
