I tried out 4 Polynesian Dance Studios before choosing Te Ori Mana to stay with. Even though it’s a much farther drive for me than the others-I learned new moves, was pushed and had so much fun in my trial class that I had to go back! They’re organized, the energy was contagious and they welcomed me with open arms. They have great choreography, performance opportunities and classes for all ages/levels - as long as you have a desire to learn and a love for dance and culture. I would highly recommend Te Ori Mana and the Ohana they’ve created to anyone. :)
I have been a student with Te Ori Mana since May 2021 and I am so glad I chose this studio. I went in with slight insecurities due to having Scoliosis but I was treated like everyone else and embraced with a family-like energy! If you want to go somewhere that truly honors Polynesian history and culture, this is the place to go. Mauru’uru Te Ori Mana!
We had a group of dancers come for our drive through 8th grade promotion ceremony. It was a hit! The dancers performed beautifully and made the event perfect!
