Beautiful dancers, costumes, and authentic ...everything we had hoped for. Thank you.

I was impressed by the dancers showing up early and their three time wardrobe change. I also like the pre-recorded explanation of the different dances on their own sound system. They included fire dancing while other dance companies charge extra. My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed the show AND the audience participation was a lot of fun!!
We were very pleased with the performances and professionalism of your entertainers! We definitely would hire again!

She was perfect!!!
I booked 3 Polynesian dancers for a 45-minute performance and our guests had an amazing time. Gilda was very professional and helpful with coordinating the show and the performers arrived early, were very professional, and did a great job. They were very flexible with accommodating my request for audience participation and photos afterward. I will certainly book them again in the future.

We absolutely loved our experience with The Heart of the Islands! It was for our daughters 8th birthday party. The performance was great but she also got all the girls involved, which they loved! She made our birthday girl feel so special. I would definitely use them again, as well as recommend them to anyone looking for Hawaiian/Polynesian dancers for their event!
Victoria was the highlight of the party. The children were captivated and had so much fun.

Thank you so much for all of the joy you brought to our school. It was so fun to see our teachers get out of their comfort zone and join you in dancing. You even got our principal to dance! LOL. I will be sure to book your company again for my future luaus. Thank you!

We had a luau themed party for 40 kids to celebrate the end of first grade. We wanted to do something special so we decided to surprise them (and their parents) with a hula dancer.
Everyone loved the show! The kids loved learning a dance and taking pictures. The whole thing was honestly just so great. Yay!!!
We hired a Hawaiian dancer for our 9 year old daughters birthday. She was an amazing dancer and included the birthday girl as well as her friends. We would definitely hire her again to perform!
Dancer was extremely professional, prompt and engaging. The kids loved her! It was an awesome show that was the highlight of my Daughter’s Luau. Would definitely recommend!

We just had my daughter's 8th birthday and our Hula Dancer from The Heart of the Islands was sensational! She taught the girls three dances and types of hula moves, as well as dancing to some songs herself. Parents and children had such a great time! I highly recommend this company... extremely professional and talented.
Hula Dancer
Such an amazing person, great with children. Stood in character the whole time. Friendly with everyone at the event. Perfect addition to our party!!
I hired a moana fire dancer for my daughters first birthday party and we loved her so so so much! She not only put on a great show that felt authentic but was so interactive with the kids and everything was perfect. She was so sweet and we would 100% hire her again.

Hula Dancer
Super happy about their service! The performers came with a lot of time to prepare. The ladies were very professional yet friendly. My friends and family at our event had so much fun being entertained. All eyes were on them the moment they started and everyone were at awe, never missing anything! Definitely recommend them to your next Polynesian/Islander event!

I am so glad we chose Heart of the Islands for the main entertainment for my sons first birthday! Our hula dancer was named Kamalei and she was absolutely incredible! She was professional, warm, and did an excellent job engaging ALL kids and adults in trying all of the dance movements she taught! She is a beautiful woman and dancer inside and out! We were all so impressed with her ability to dance, entertain and play traditional Hawaiian instruments all at the same time! She taught us how to dance, facilitated the limbo, then stayed for pics after her performance! She was the highlight of the party! I will always book through Heart of the Islands!

Claire started with dancing with fire - quite the breathtaking experience for our birthday guests. The music never stopped and we had family photo ops, hula lessons for both kids and adults, limbo, and several beautiful performances. The kids adored her. Thank you, Claire and The Heart of the Islands (Gilda)! Great experience! Will highly recommend to everyone. Aloha!
Our guests had the most amazing time. Would definitely recommend!
Felt like we were home ! We loved it so much that we will book it again next year ❤️

Hired 2 fire dancers, 1 male fire sword dancer and 1 drummer. It was a very enjoyable and fun filled show. Way more than I was expecting for a short performance. They were on time, polite, fully prepared and very professional. We would recommend them to anyone.
The performer was professional, punctual, and made our event memorable and fun!

We hired 2 hula dancers for my dad’s 70th Birthday Party. The girls were amazing! They were friendly, professional and on time. Our guests were raving about them. Their show featured island dancing that you would see at an authentic luau in Hawaii. If I could give them 10 stars I would! I highly recommend this company!!!
Great dancing and a true entertainer. Exceeded our expectations.
Hula Dancer
I hired this great group for my Mother's 95th birthday party. There were lots of seniors and they really enjoyed the beautiful and spirited dancing. The group participation was fun and I heard my group laugh and have a great time. HIRE THIS GROUP! They were on time, prepared quickly and put on a great show. Their costumes are exceptional. They have packages to fit any budget.
They were the icing on the cake of my party. I absolutely loved them.
Thank you Gilda and your dancers for a job well done. HIRE THIS GROUP : )

I made a point to email Gilda after our party ended to tell her how fantastic it was! We had one of those days where everything was going wrong with our event and then like a beam of light, our dancer picked everyone moods right up. My family needed the performance we were gifted. We needed the smiles, and mostly we needed the laughs from the audience participation. I cannot thank your company enough for what you did for us!
Fire Performer, Hula Dancer
Impressive from the start. Gilda sent me an email back the same day with videos, links, and pricing. She answered all of my questions with patience, kindness, and professionalism assuring me I would get exactly what I was looking for to ensure we had excellent entertainment at my wedding. I'm very happy and grateful for their services. We had them for 15 minutes with 3 female dancers and received so many compliments from our wedding guests. Thank you! I posted photos on my Yelp review for them.

The dancers performed well. It just seemed short & rushed for the cost.
Ukulele Player, Hula Dancer
The dancing was authentic and they were great with the crowd. it was very beautifully done. Was the highlight of our party. We got many compliments
Their dancers where professional yet kind. Everyone had a blass at my daughter's 1st birthday party, the dancers gave a fun and entertaining performance.
Thank you!
The hula dancer had two outfits and fire torches that accompanied a dance. Everyone young and old appreciated the entertainment. The kids had a few opportunities to participate, birthday girl had some spotlight. There was an opportunity for pictures. Overall it was the cherry on top of the whole luau birthday celebration. Thankyou so much!
It was an Amazing experience. .I will be using the service again very professional!
