What a great performance, we had a small office retirement party and this added the extra sparkle to the party. Beautiful performance, on-time, worth it!
We had Natasha and another dancer perform at my Dad's 80th Birthday. They were both great, a very good performance with the heat, wind, and covid restrictions in place. We learned new Hawaiian words and they involved us with their dance performance. Thank you!
It was a 60th BIRTHDAY party event that consisted of about 20 people. The gathering took
Place in a private home and required only 1 hula dancer. The performance and service provided by the Aloha Dancer was outstanding. She went above and beyond our expectations to include guests in participating. Our guests had a great time. Our thanks to Natasha for a great experience.
Everyone loved the girls. Several guest talked about learning hula from Aloha Dancers. The dance and enthusiasm of the dancers made everyone fell as if they were on a distant island enjoying a true Luau. The dancers allowed photo’s with anyone wanting a picture with them. The only disappointment was some last minute cancelations from the male dancer and drummers. Onto next years Luau. Thank you Aloha Dancers.
She did a wonderful show many thanks
I booked Aloha Dancers for a small backyard wedding ceremony. They arrived on time, did a great job dancing and loved the interaction they had with my guests. They even got my very shy son to join them on the dance floor. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that asks me.
Very professional and on time for the event. The Hula dancer did a beautiful dance to the Hawaiian wedding song. Everybody enjoyed the whole hula performance.
The dancers we're super great. Loved their smiles, enthusiasm, the wardrobe change, audience participation, different island dances and took the time for pictures. It was a really fun time. Thx Hula dancers helping to make my 50th that much more memorable.
Response from Aloha Dancers:
Aloha Tulio,
We are so pleased we could make your birthday fun and memorable for you and your guests. 🌺
Mahalo nui loa,
Natasha
Rebecca was on time and very willing to interact with our residents, she looked beautiful!
the song choices were awesome as well as attire.
I would highly recommend.
We had two hula dancers, one Haka (sp?) dancer for one number, a singer who played the ukulele for a birthday party of about 50. They arrived on time and completely prepared. They honored requests and stayed beyond the time allotted to meet the demand for pictures. The dancing was beautiful, the music enjoyable and they were great at getting crowd participation and making it fun for everybody. I would hire them again without hesitation. Thank you to Aloha Dancers for making a memorable night!
Wow- Natasha is amazing to work with and all of the dancers are extremely talented. Natasha is very detail-oriented which made everything a smooth and easy process from planning to costumes and overall experience. The Aloha Dancers elevated the entire theme of the Sacramento Kings Global Night and were one of the best performance groups I have seen throughout the year. I look forward to working with Natasha and Aloha Dancers in the future!
Response from Aloha Dancers:
Thank you Jordyn for making it a wonderful and memorable experience for the Aloha Dancers! Mahalo 🌺 Can't wait to do it again.
Lui was awesome... Always smiling and accommodating
The Aloha Dancers exceeded all of our expectations at our annual Luau. They were extremely pleasant and easy to work with as we had a very specific and special request. The Aloha Dancers are the best and the only entertainment you should use for your event. Worth every dollar!!!! We can't thank them enough for making our Luau a huge success!
My guests and I were amazed and delighted with the professional dancers and music that made our Luau a spectacular success! First Class entertainment and Fun!
For the second year in a row, our school had Aloha Dancers perform for the senior class. It was great! We plan to ask them again next year...hopefully they will be able to be part of this tradition. Aloha Dancers can be counted upon for a most wonderful show. Thanks for making the luau awesome!
Excellent performances from the 3 hula dancers that lasted about an hour. Very prompt and on time. Beautiful costumes. Very professional and friendly. Would hire again.
Natasha and the ladies performed a beautiful show that was not only beautiful and personal to my event, but they also involved my party guests for some fun dance lessons and stayed after for lots of group pictures. They are very professional and exceeded all of my expectations
I hired Aloha Dancers for a unique performance - to award one lucky winner a free trip to Hawaii. They were able and happy to work with our team to accommodate this request. The dancers met us as we picked the winner and then travelled with us to our winner's location - a bar and delivered a great, 2-person performance for the audience to enjoy. I would highly recommend them as they are very professional and friendly!
it was such a delight to have Aloha Dancers as a part of our program. The gift of Natasha's and the young ladies' dances added so much to our benefit dinner which had a Hawaiian theme. The choreography of the dances were just beautiful and the stories behind the dance added a dimension of appreciation for the graceful movements. The guests attending the dinner expressed their appreciation with hearty applause and many positive comments afterwards. Mahalo, Pat Maher, Benefit Chairperson
We hired Aloha Dancers for my daughter's 10th birthday party. It was a luau theme, and Natasha and Lui did not disappoint! They arrived on time, engaged the kids, provided wonderful entertainment, all with beautiful smiles on their faces. We will definitely keep them in mind for our next party. Mahalo!
We were so happy to have the Aloha Dancers come to my daughters school for her 5th birthday! The dancers were a hit and were so sweet with the kids. Can't wait to book the Aloha Dancers again!
Invited the Aloha Dancers to our backyard luau birthday barbecue and we were truly impressed and entertained! Their hour-long show included dances from differing islands for a nice variety of rhythm and vibe. For a moment, it felt like we were transported to the big island luau! We can't wait to find another excuse to invite them back!
Aloha Dancers were amazing! They exceded my expectations for our company celebration. The girls did several costume changes and routines and the staff love the participation and pictures afterwards. I will look forward ussing them again.
Aloha Dancers performed for our graduating senior class and everyone was entertained, mesmerized, and thoroughly happy with their performances, interactive lessons, and professionalism. The dancers even took pictures with the students at the end when they were in their finale costumes! We plan to book with them every year for as long as they have their services available. Truly incredible! You will not be disappointed if you book with them. Do not hesitate to contact them, or you just might miss seeing a spectacular presentation. Thank you Aloha Dancers for making the senior luau an event to remember for them.
The Aloha Dancers are the perfect entertainment group for your party! From the planning to performance phases, Natasha showed a great deal of professionalism and flexibility to meet our needs. Within a few minutes of interacting with the dancers, you could feel their positive and pleasant energy. Their routine was wonderful in all aspects: great music, beautiful costumes, and awesome choreography. To top it off, they invited the crowd to join them on stage for an interactive hula dance lesson! They were a big hit with our campus and our students were delighted at every minute of their performance. We can honestly say that our College Luau would not have been a success without the Aloha Dancers!
We loved the dancers. They were great at including the kids. They even stayed after to take pictures.
Dancers showed on time, were courteous and professional, and danced beautifully.
The International Facility Managers Association recently held our 30th Golf Classic at Empire Ranch in Folsom. The theme was Luau on the Links. The Aloha Dancers performed at our dinner social and enhanced the atmosphere with their creative and professional dancing. They engaged with the audience and gave us history on the individual dances they performed. A huge MAHALO to the Aloha Dancers. We will be happy to have them at our next Luau on the Links event.
The Aloha Dancers have graced our stage for all three years that the RUSD has held the Cultural Festival. They bring fresh, innovative dances, wonderful performers and amazing costumes every time! They even did some interactive dancing with the audience. My personal favorite was the Tahitian dancers, a thrilling new act that made me feel like I was actually in Tahiti. The Aloha Dancers perform for our school event without pay; they truly give back to the community!
The Aloha Dancers performed at the luau launch party for the release of my book, DYING FOR A DAIQUIRI. The book is great and so were the daiquiris, but the dancers really made the event special. They were beautiful, graceful and a true joy to watch. A very moving experience for everyone.
I made the best decision to have the beautiful, graceful and talented Aloha Dancers perform for my husband's 50th. Natasha was very professional to work with regarding booking and took care of all coordination with the DJ. Their costumes are as beautiful as the dancers. I especially love when they brought the my husband and audience into the dance routine. This creates great memories and photo ops. I gladly recommend them for a wonderful and unique party entertainment! Thank you! Vanessa & John
Everyone at the club house said the party was the best we had had and the dancers made the evening feel like they were in Hawaii. Nothing but raves about the show. +
Everyone at our event enjoyed her performance very much!! I would definitly ask Aloha Dancers to come to another of our events and I would recommend them to other parties.
I hired Aloha Dancers to perform at a Client Appreciation Event my company was hosting. It was last minute as we thought it would tie into our Luau theme. We had 200 attendees and Aloha Dancers were so professional and were able to meet our last minute request to have them there. We had them do 3 performances throughout an hour time-frame (a little outside what they typically do to perform), hand out raffles during our client raffle and one last "crowd interaction" dance to get our clients on the floor to dance. They chose the perfect, upbeat most entertaining dances. They knew their audience and what we were looking for. My clients emailed me telling me they were SO impressed with them and half of them had NEVER seen Tahitian and Hula dancers before, so it was a nice surprise. HANDS DOWN I would recommend the Aloha Dancers for any event you may have coming up. I was so impressed by Natasha and her team willing to switch up their usual performance style for us and go with the flow. They all were very beautiful and I cannot thank them enough for coming to our event so last minute.
I just wanted to say that the dancers were amazing. They made the our company picnic a huge success. I want to thank all the girls that showed up they were truely a joy to have.
Aloha Dancers were fantastic for my husband's retirement party. They were on time (what a treat that was). Very friendly and extremely courteous. They were outgoing and energetic. The favorite part of the performance was at the conclusion when they had audience participation. Everyone enjoyed it and were very entertained. I would highly recommend Aloha Dancers.
Natasha, thank you for the wonderful performance at my dad's birthday luau. Everyone really enjoyed it! You ladies are lovely dancers, and the dance your grandmother choreographed was particularly pretty. My dad, aunts and uncle grew up in Hawaii -- thank you very much for bringing us a bit of the islands that they haven't seen for a long time. You were also personally gracious, assisting my aunt down a crowded hallway and patiently spending time with guests after the performance. Your Aloha Dancers truly exemplify the aloha spirit!

“ My Journey to Polynesian Dance”
Since I was three years old I can remember being at my grandma’s house listening to the Hawaiian music and walking thru the downstairs room to peak at my grandma’s (Kumu Lokalia’s ) professional dancers. We were in Fremont California. At that time the group was called the “Kailua Dancers”. It was a small group of women who formed the group, under the instruction of my grandmother.
I watched, listened and learned silently until the age of five when my grandmother began to instruct me as well. She had traveled to the big island of Hawaii to receive her certification as “Kumu”, which means instructor and backbone of a Halau (Hawaiian dance school).
There is so much to learn when you attempt to take this on. You must know the music, translation, culture, art of costume making, choreography, language and live the Aloha Spirit.
After many years of study I opened my own Hawaiian Dance School and the birth of Aloha Dancers arose in 2003. Since that time I have grown as a teacher and continue to learn. “Hula is a way of life”. Those who come to join the Halau will tell you, we are a fantastic Hawaiian Dance School with lots of Aloha Spirit. We are open to all “Hawaiians at Heart”.
