WHY HIRE TEAONA? With 17 years of dance study and 15 years of performance experience, Teaona has taken the time to learn the dances and about the cultures behind the dance forms. Teaona strives to make sure every performance is as authentic as possible and respectful of the cultures from which the dances come. She puts energy, fun, and class into every performance and brings the party to life!
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? Shows are always family-friendly and appropriate for all ages! Teaona performs as a solo dancer. Show durations range from 15 to 30 minutes and audience participation is included. Some packages are an hour long, but the dancing portion is about the same length (15-30 minutes). For hour-long Polynesia packages, longer dance lessons and sometimes luau games are included, time permitting. Teaona will use props (e.g. a veil, wings, cane, sword, or fire tray for belly dance; various instruments for hula shows) at several points during the show, depending on the length of the show.
FOR WHICH EVENTS CAN I BOOK TEAONA? Birthday parties, corporate events, weddings, anniversary celebrations, festivals, bridal/baby showers, cocktail parties, and holiday parties are great examples of events for which Teaona would be a good fit. This list is not exhaustive, so feel free to ask about your event.
