Makani Kai Hula

Hula Class is so much fun! Definitely a workout. hips, thighs, and legs! Can’t wait to start performing at local San Diego events and shows

6÷4÷15: Week 2 of hula… i love it! Our instructor is amazing — she teaches in a way where we quickly catch on and learn them. — She corrects our postures, adjusts our hands, feet, etc.
Hula looks/​seems easy. but let me tell you its a workout!!! — i should just cancel my gym membership and come to class everyday.
The beat/​sound of Hawaiian music is so relaxing and exciting.
I hope to excel in hula and one day have my own solo performance ha!

I booked a show with Makani Kai to perform at a birthday luau I had last month. It was the most awesome experience! They went above and beyond my expectations! They arrived on time, and started the show on time. Uncle Ed was a character and was a great MC. They performed different styles of dances with an explanation of each. They were fantastic! I can’t say enough positive things about this experience. All of them were very friendly and happy! Even the payment transaction went smooth. I would recommend this group by far!

Love them!

Makani Kai put on a great performance! Their professional troop performed for my aunt’s birthday party. They started by capturing everybody’s attention by blowing conch shells. They had wonderful musicians (several drummers as well as ukulele players) and singers. Their dancers were incredible. They had both female and male dancers– i loved the fire dance and Tahitian dances. They also really knew how to turn their audience (me and all the party goers) from passive spectators to involved participants throughout their performance. Thank you, Makani Kai for making this a very special night for my aunt and putting on a spectacular performance.

Awesome drumming class!

I love love love Tahitian dance. I had my first lesson at just $ 10 the other night and it’s a nice ab workout! After just an hour, my body from the abs down was feeling the burn. My grandfather is Hawaiian so I’ve been dieing to learn the hawaiian and Tahitian dance form for years. I finally got the courage to do it and fell in love immediately. Right after the class I signed up for monthly at just $ 55 (AND they rolled in the first class into the monthly fees!) I’m a fan for life and will continue to come weekly!

F.Y.I: The sound of Hawaiian music always seems to catch my attention. The excitement of little girls dancing hula and chanting lyrics brings me back to my childhood days of dancing. Although there were no live drumers giving the dancers a beat to move their hips to, it was a pleasure seeing these little girls so happy to be dancing.
The studio was only a room but walking in the studio, you could feel the traditional customs through the décor and the «Ohana» in all the dancers and their parents there. The little girls were practicing for an upcoming show and even though I had to wait a little to speak to the teacher, i did not mind waiting because the dancers were getting their costumes.
The teacher was very friendly and informed me of the prices of the classes ($ 55/​month for classes once a week). I definitely want to go back and drop-​in on one of the classes. I know my hips will appreciate dancing to the beat of drums. So stay tuned for an update on Makani Kai Hula! Aloha Unilocalers!
