If you are wanting some of the most inauthentic Polynesian performances you could possibly find, look no further! After watching the videos that this company posted on YouTube (and then took down with a quickness after it got downvoted into oblivion), I hope that no one who books these people comes away thinking that their choreography is even a remotely accurate interpretation of Hula or Ori Tahiti.
I get it, the movie Moana made Polynesian culture popular with the kids and also with adults, but this company could at least attempt to have some sort cultural integrity. Instead they choreograph a terrible mish-mash of belly dance, burlesque, hula and ori together to create dances that are insulting to all of those dance forms.
Basically, if you want to see dances and have an experience that reeks of not only cultural appropriation, but also insults the culture as well, then you found the right place.
Oh, and someone should really tell them that nouns in Hawaiian do not need a pluralizing suffix. It is lei not leis even if you have more than one, and it is luau not luaus, no matter how many you may do. Also, it is wahine, not "wahini". If you are going to bastardize the culture with a "Wild Wahini" Polynesian Dance Class, at least attempt to spell it correctly. read more
