Polynesian dancing is the first form of dance that Karen was taught as a little girl by her mother. As a young girl she performed shows with her mother at private parties and later at age 12 performed at a regular professional luau show at the Hilton Hotel. As an adult she went on tour with a professional Polynesian troupe around the United States. She is a member of the local Hawaiian club, Hui Na Aikane O’Hawai’i. She very much enjoys sharing her knowledge with students.
Select Days (Karen)
SATURDAY, April 17
1:30 - 2:30pm - Poi Spinning
2:30 - 3:30pm - Polynesian Dance
Come enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Islands. Learn the basics of Hawaiian, Tahitian and Maori dance. Each week we will explore these splendid cultures and experience their music, language and dance. No experience is necessary, only a happy heart and a readiness to feel some new muscles. These classes and will always include basic dance movements. Each class is self contained, so you will not miss anything from week to week. Some evenings we will learn a complete choreography. We will also occasionally work with some of the implements used in various dances such as: pa ipu (gourd), pu ili’s (split bamboo), poi balls, etc. We dance barefoot. You may want to use a sarong, pa’u skirt or pareau.
