Testimonials
"Amazing performance it's worth the money you pay. Excellent."
Ana G.
"Our experience was phenomenal. Even our neighbors have commented on how wonderful the sounds coming from our yard were. The dancers are all super friendly and accommodating. The poi ball portion was exciting and done very well. The musicians played their hearts out. We had a couple dancers/performers show up early as lei greeters. (As suggested by the group during the phone consultation) Our guests were amazed at how authentic the feel was upon their arrival. Audience participation was fabulous and fully family friendly. The children who attended will never forget this experience. Likely the adults will be talking about it for some time as well. An exciting time was had by all in attendance. Thank you all. It wouldn’t have been a proper Luau without the Polynesian Spice dance troop."
