Polynesian Dance Conditioning Class

Open to men & women ages 13+. Minimal dance experience is helpful. The instructor combines Hula and ‘Ori dance steps with contemporary songs for a fun addition to your exercise regimen.

Saturday 'Ori Training

This class is a high energy fast paced class that will focus on 3 fundamental aspects of competitive ‘Ori Tahiti: strength, cardio, and freestyle training.

We are not exclusive to dancers who compete, but rather inclusive of all dancers looking to improve their technique and stamina. This is not a beginner level class, but all are welcomed who are looking for that extra push.
