'O Huraiti Mana tātou | we are Huraiti Mana
'Ia ora na! We are Huraiti Mana. Learn about our mission of empowerment, participate in our weekly 'ori Tahiti (Tahitian) and hula dance classes in Seattle, and connect with our culture and 'ohana. Please also find information below about how Huraiti Mana is facing the effects COVID-19, together. Wherever we are, we continue to share our mana, our 'ohana, our feti'i, our aroha.
ONLINE DANCE CLASSESWe invite everyone of all backgrounds and levels of experience to join the Huraiti Mana community. We offer a combined 'Ori Tahiti (Tahitian) and Hula dance class in Seattle, WA. Our classes are very welcoming as a place of passionate work, laughter, and shared stories. As we all face this epidemic together, we want to continue to offer community while at home. You are invited to join us for our online classes! Wherever we are, we are still together. We still share our mana. WE are Huraiti Mana. E ha'amana ma ma'atou!

PERFORMANCESAlthough many of our performances have been cancelled in efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, we will continue to prepare and strive toward performing again, someday soon. We strive to create relationships with organizations that support and uplift our Pacific Islander communities and cultures. When we are in a healthier future, we encourage everyone to attend twice as many cultural events as they would have before, to support the performing arts and our affected communities! E haere mua!
