Dance Performances
Journey to the islands with authentic Polynesian entertainment! We provide live music and drumming and show groups of 2 to 60 performers. We can customize the show duration, variety of dances and overall experience to fit your needs.
Luau Experiences
Make your island experience unforgettable with a private or group hula lesson. We can also welcome your guests with Fresh Lei Greetings, start the performance with a Conch Blowing Ceremony and get photos ops during Audience Participation.
Live Island Music
Create an authentic, island ambience with beautiful Hawaiian songs performed by our award-winning musicians. Take your guests on a tour of the islands with our live music featuring traditional instruments like pahu drum, gourds and ukuleles.
The Polynesian Experience
Your guests arrive to a beautifully Polynesian decorated event with fresh tropical flower arrangements and vivid centerpieces. During arrival of your guests, our musicians play live Polynesian music selected from Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand, Tonga and Samoa. Our dancers can welcome your guests at the entrance and offer fresh orchid or carnation leis, fragrant hair or wrist gardenias, or beautiful shell Leis.
Our girls can also perform Spot Hulas right out among the tables and your guests while they are mingling and socializing before dinner. Include a Group Hula Lesson at your event and we’ll teach your guests a short hula and they would be able to perform it with us during our show.
Right before dinner is served, we’ll start our Conch Blowing Ceremony to call your guests to dinner and build anticipation for the full Polynesian show. Our performances include a wide variety of Polynesian Island dances from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Maori (New Zealand) and Fiji in addition to an Audience Participation section. This is always a favorite part of our show and an excellent photo opportunity! All participants receive Shell Leis as a token of our appreciation for participating.
After the show our musicians can keep the luau mood going or play more contemporary tunes to dance the night away. For culinary options, we can refer you to caterers who can provide the perfect luau menu for your guests including many island favorites.
No matter what the occasion, we guarantee that you and your guests will never forget this beautiful Polynesian experience.
Community Shows
When we can, we also like to give back to the community by doing volunteer performances for community festivals or cultueral events like Polynesian Festivals, San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival and Polynesian Heritage Night for the San Francico Giants. We also make time to offer shows at senior living homes in the Bay Area such as Vintage Golden Gate, AlmaVia of San Francisco, and Vintage Coventry. Please contact us if you have an event that would be right for us.
