TAHITIAN & HULA DANCE CLASSES
in Seattle's Chinatown-International District

Huraiti Mana. Huraiti means skilled dancer in Reo Tahiti, the Tahitian language. Mana refers to the spiritual power that we all have within us, and which we all give to one another. Mana is a significant word, value, and practice across all Polynesian languages in the Pacific. Together, we will work proudly, learn immensely, and laugh daily in our dance classes! All experience levels are welcome! We seek to empower everyone to become skilled dancers or to increase their skill sets and knowledge. You will not only learn technique but also meaning and depth in these Pacific Islander traditions. Find out more details below or register now!

NEW TO DANCE?

We invite everyone of all backgrounds and levels of experience to join the Huraiti Mana 'ohana. Our classes are very welcoming as a place of passionate work, much laughter, and shared stories. Many of our dancers came to Huraiti Mana without any prior experience and have truly enjoyed their time building this community and succeeding in their individual goals, together. Our Basics Adult Classes have routine exercises fit for challenging dancers at all skills levels. For those who have experience with Ori Tahiti and Hula, you will find a way to improve techniques, heighten creativity, and strengthen your body.
