FAQs
Do you do custom tailoring or alterations?
Sorry, we provide lessons, demonstrations, special events, and some kits. We do not do custom tailoring or alterations. We can teach you how to sew and quilt. What kind of Polynesian dancing do you teach?
I teach authentic Polynesian dance classes. This means that my classes and performances offer an authentic cultural experience. You will learn correct protocol, the language of the islands, and different styles of hula and Tahitian dance techniques, including hula kahiko, hula auana, ahuroa, aparima, and otea.
This is in accordance to one of my missions which is to perpetuate my culture. I am a native, a real islandgirl, and I am really, really proud of it. :) I love both Polynesians and Polynesians at heart and hula really is for everyone! :) Over the years I have had many, many inquries about what kind of hula classes I teach and so I make full disclosure to inform everyone that I teach authentic Polynesian dancing. This has been invaluable information for students who want to learn about my curriculum, for clients who want to know what we are about, for all prospective students and their families, and especially important to those who want an authentic cultural experience for themselves and/or their keiki. I provide authentic Polynesian dance instruction and entertainment to all of my students and clients. I guarantee it.
You really do get an authentic cultural experience from a real islandgirl. :) I speak the language, I use correct protocol, I am a supporter of the Hula Preservation Society and uphold their mission, and I teach what is taught in the islands. What better way to learn or be entertained than from a native!
