Aloha! Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue would love to perform at your next event! We offer family friendly Polynesian entertainment including dances and costumes from Hawaii, Tahiti and New Zealand. We love to dance for audiences of all sizes - no party is too big or too small! We also have a Christmas holiday program available from Thanksgiving to Christmas (can also do Christmas in July!). We perform year round so contact us at any time!
They were prompt, got set up right away, and their costumes were wonderful. Their show flowed perfectly. My event was a luau and my guests were amazed. You can't have a luau without Hawaiian entertainment. This dance troupe made the evening perfect. Mike B.
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
We had a great time as well! The crowd was super fun, we were glad to be part of the event. Congratulations to the happy couple! Mahalo!
The dancers were incredible!!!!!
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
Thank you so much! We had a great time, what a fun event! Thank you so much for including us in the lunch count, that was so sweet. Mahalo for having us!
Thanks Kim for teaching the little girls to dance and making my daughter's B'day memorable. They all loved it!!
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
Thank you so much! It was a lovely party, thanks for having me!
Dancers were very good and put on a great show!
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
Mahalo! We had a great time at your reception! Congratulations to you and David!
Kim was fantastic and the kids were literally beaming with pride as they navigated their way through the various dance moves. Some feedback we got from the kids (other than how much fun it was) was that it maybe moved a little too fast for them but I also know that's the nature of this kind of dancing. While we couldn't get to Hawaii ourselves this certainly was a great way to bring a little piece of the islands to us.
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
Mahalo Anika for the feedback! They were a sweet group of kids. Thanks for having me!
Great entertainers, great dancers! The dancers and entertainment made the party fantastic! I would highly recommend this group to anyone interested in hiring them. So much fun and very professional!!
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
Mahalo Deborah! We had a great time helping your group celebrate your dad's birthday! Thanks for having us!
We had an awesome time! Kim was such a great teacher and my entire family enjoyed the experience!
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
Mahalo Danielle! Your group was a ton of fun, thanks for having me!
I recommend this dance group to anyone. They are very entertaining and are of different ages. I had a fundraiser for my young women’s and they range from ages 12-18. It was amazing to see them really enjoy watching entertainment of their age group perform. Absolutely loved it!
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
Mahalo Nia! We had a great time at your event! You and your committee put on a great fundraiser for the young women's group. Please think of us again in the future. Aloha!
That is a repeat of what my residents have stated!!!! The residents and the staff loved having this group do a performance involving multiple costume changes, fire, and audience participation. Can't wait to have them come back for our next Hawaiian Party!
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
Mahalo Shana! We can't wait to come back!
They were very friendly and easy to work with. All of our guests had a great time.
Thank you!
Response from Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue:
Aloha! We enjoyed entertaining at your party! Please keep us in mind for future events. Mahalo!

Our typical show is 45 minutes long and includes a fire coconut dance and audience participation at no extra charge. We perform dances from the islands of Hawaii, Tahiti and New Zealand. We have several costume changes throughout the entire show and have an emcee to narrate and explain each dance.
Na Wahine O Ke Anuenue (Women of the Rainbow) is a Polynesian dance group that performs in the Metro Detroit area. Our dancers range in age from 5-adult. Some of us have been dancing together for over 30 years! We've studied with Kumu Hulas (Master Hawaiian teachers) and love to share our love of the Hawaiian culture. From children's birthday parties to corporate events, we'd love to take your guests on a journey through the Polynesian Islands!
We will need a changing area very close to the performance area - our costume changes are done in 3 minutes or less! The shorter our run back and forth is, the smoother the show will flow.
We can perform inside or outside, but cannot dance on gravel, asphalt or blacktop in our bare feet.
Fire coconut dance can be done inside!
