Can't afford a trip to the islands? Let the islands come to you! Mana is the spirit of Polynesia. We are dedicated to the promotion of Pacific Island culture through dance, music and island entertainment. We are family owned and operated.
We perform authentic dances from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Tonga, Tokelau, Marquesas and Fiji.
We can customize shows to meet every client's budget! We can include the dramatic Samoan fireknife dance, Maori fire poi balls, fire-making, dance lessons, lei greeting, island serenaders, Polynesian tattoos, traditional weapons demo, island themed contests, Hawaiian shave ice and more!
