Authentic Polynesian Dance Academy
Experience the beauty, traditions, and cultural teachings of Polynesia — from Hawaiian hula and Tahitian dance to language, music, and customs — with Hālau 'O Ku'ukamali'i Kūikanani in Novi, Michigan.
Why Polynesian Dance?
Exercise
Hula & other Polynesian dance forms (Ori Tahiti, Maori, Siva Samoa) are great forms of low impact exercise. Why spend tons of money on a gym membership you'll never use? Come dance with us — but don't forget your water bottle. You'll need it!
Knowledge
In our Hālau, you'll not only learn how to dance, you'll also learn about Polynesian history, language, places, and culture. We teach the meanings of the lyrics in the mele (songs) so you understand what you're performing. Ours is the only Michigan Hālau to study under a Kumu Hula.
Fun!
Dancing is meant to be joyful! Our Hālau is a welcoming community where friendships are built and laughter fills the room. Whether you're a complete beginner or have danced before, you'll find a place where you can celebrate your progress and genuinely have a great time.
