Tunuis Royal Polynesians

This is 10 stars dance school. The best possible that you can find anywhere. These classes are one of the best if not THE best learning classes I have ever seen, and I have been around dancing for 15 years taking classes in many different genres from top teachers globally. If you want to learn to dance, Tunui's is the place. The teacher is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, extremely patient and supportive, and is an amazing teacher and an amazing dancer. The halao is very nice. The dancers have a high level of skill and win competitions, locally and nationally. And, learning is fun here. It is light and joyful and jovial, and everyone has fun. I joke and say that Tunui can teach chairs to dance, but honestly, I wouldn't doubt it. I came in as an older dancer, stiff, without proper technique, and in some years in his classes. I can make proper movements now.I also see visitors who come in for 1-2 months to Honolulu specifically to study with Tunui and their dance tremendously improves. Just the experience of being in the middle of a group of really fantastic dancers and soaking that in is so memorable and helps you to dance better. Tunui's dancers are precise. If you watch the movement carefully, there is no sloppiness, the movement is very crispy clean and elegant. It is an amazing accomplishment.I forgot to mention: halao performs and competes, for people who want that, you will practice and learn competition solos. Also Tunui is famous for his costuming. The classes teach everything you need to know to dance better and to perform - posturing, acting, feeling, telling a story with the movement, tricks for performing solo competitions, and of course, training to be a member of a halao and perform as "one". Most wonderful place to learn and even venture into more performing and even professional dance career. Quite a few dancers turn professionals.
