Special Notes
We teach all ages about our Polynesian culture. Our most well known presentations are focused on Hula Dancing, however we also offer other classes such as lei-making, taking care (malama) the aina (land) and kai (sea), and lauhala weaving. The cost is usually around $300 depending on location and crowd size.
