RWDA = my dance home…read more Every Saturday from age 4-17+ I'd be at Rosalie Woodson Dance Academy ALL DAY LONG. It was my second home. My weekend home. I absolutely loved it there. :) I started with ballet and tap early on and added on gymnastics and jazz throughout the years. You make LIFELONG FRIENDS at this studio. Students are encouraged to learn ballet, which establishes a solid foundation as a dancer. It's a piece of cake learning other styles once you've practiced years of ballet. They surely teach you discipline and how to be a fine, classy lady (or gentleman!). This is a great studio to send your kids to (or yourself! They have adult classes, too!) if you want good, classic, WHOLESOME ballet, tap, jazz and broadway styles. They also offer hip hop and salsa. Taking dance lessons at RWDA and performing at the Blaisdell Concert Hall (now annual performances are at Hawaii Theatre) really help build my self-confidence as a child and improved my posture. I learned how to be organized and punctual from attending scheduled rehearsals and having various costume changes throughout the show (my Caboodles box full of bobby pins and accessories had to be in order or I'd miss my number!). I also learned how to put on stage makeup (that it needs to be a lot bolder than what you'd normally wear because the lights wash out the color). Again, the friendships that I have developed throughout the years are priceless. I still hang out with my RWDA dance buddies til this day! The studio is conveniently located next to Aiea Library, where I have studied a bunch before, after, and in-between dance classes as a kid. There are also many restaurants and convenience stores around the area that are safe and fun to check out when you need a snack in-between classes or to hang out with your dance buddies. (Or for you parents that are waiting for your keiki!) The teachers are all excellent and caring. I remember Miss Woodson herself used to help fit me in my tap and pointe shoes. She'd even show me how to screw on my taps to my tap shoes! I love how students that have grown up here eventually come back to teach to carry on the tradition. If you're interested in taking lessons, you should watch the annual Showstoppers show at Hawaii Theatre usually held the last week of June. Not to miss! However, that is only once a year, so if you've missed this year's one, you can always call the studio and check out the next mall show or try out a class! If I ever decide to have kids, I'd for sure send them here! P.S. Yelp, it's Rosalie Woodson Dance Academy. The business listing's all backwards. ;)

Mariah will be in France for the summer but will return to the studio in August. =)…read more I still cant believe she used to cry at the first few Saturday classes she went to 3 years ago. Mariah (now 7) had such an amazing time at concert and already told me she wants to be in every single number next year LOL. I wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for everyone at the studio doing what you do for all of the students. I will definitely volunteer in the dressing room again next year and I will have a better idea of the flow. The concert was amazing as always and well worth it in my family's opinion. We look forward to many more concerts in the future. I noticed this year it was a hard to see the "little ones" perform because they were often behind much taller students or far off to the side. That is the one thing I noticed that could be improved on for next year but not a big deal as hopefully we will have the girls taking more classes next year allowing them to be in more numbers. Thanks again for everything, you are ALL very much appreciated! -Christina & Mariah

A nice…read more(and extremely informative) representative handed me a flyer and I was immediately excited. Living in Waianae, the options for fitness classes are extremely limited and I was really wanting to find a place to do yoga close to home. Classes are offered Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tuesday: Hatha Yoga @ 6:15-7:30pm Wednesday: Vinyasa Yoga @ 6:15-7:30pm Saturday: Mauka Yoga @ 9:15-10:30am (outdoors and it is like a more relaxing version of Vinyasa) I've gone to both Tuesday and Saturday classes. I took both classes with Carissa and she is amazing! She adds her own style and I really enjoyed the optional aromatherapy portion of the class. The farm itself is the perfect environment for relaxation and the Saturday class on the stage overlooking the farm was surreal. I can't get enough and hope to make a habit of coming for all three classes weekly. Cash only, donation based (but a donation of $10 is encouraged.) I'm so happy someone is putting in the effort to organize this for the West Side!

These classes are one…read moreof the best if not THE best learning classes I have ever seen, and I have been around dancing for 15 years taking classes in many different genres from top teachers globally. If you want to learn to dance, Tunui's is the place. The teacher is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, extremely patient and supportive, and is an amazing teacher and an amazing dancer. The halao is very nice. The dancers have a high level of skill and win competitions, locally and nationally. And, learning is fun here. It is light and joyful and jovial, and everyone has fun. I joke and say that Tunui can teach chairs to dance, but honestly, I wouldn't doubt it. I came in as an older dancer, stiff, without proper technique, and in some years in his classes. I can make proper movements now. I also see visitors who come in for 1-2 months to Honolulu specifically to study with Tunui and their dance tremendously improves. Just the experience of being in the middle of a group of really fantastic dancers and soaking that in is so memorable and helps you to dance better. Tunui's dancers are precise. If you watch the movement carefully, there is no sloppiness, the movement is very crispy clean and elegant. It is an amazing accomplishment. I forgot to mention: halao performs and competes, for people who want that, you will practice and learn competition solos. Also Tunui is famous for his costuming. The classes teach everything you need to know to dance better and to perform - posturing, acting, feeling, telling a story with the movement, tricks for performing solo competitions, and of course, training to be a member of a halao and perform as "one". Most wonderful place to learn and even venture into more performing and even professional dance career. Quite a few dancers turn professionals.
