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

I have always been meaning to learn the hula dances for few of my favorite songs, but you can only…read morelearn so much via YouTube videos, so I decided that on my next trip to Hawaii I would find a way to get a "one on one" lesson, and I found a fantastic one!!! A quick Google search led me to Sarah and "Wanna Hula?", and it was an awesome experience from the moment I contacted her, all the way to the end of my lesson. She was very quick with responding to my inquiries and I was able to arrange a private class for my friend and me at Magic Island. Hula on the beach...can there be anything more awesomely Hawaii than that? The meeting location was clearly indicated so it was easy to find and Sarah was even early for our lesson. She was great about offering suggestions on where to hold the class (comfort, view, etc.) and had the lyrics to all three of the songs I had inquired about printed up for us too. For the next hour, my friend and I got a dance tailored to our dancing experience/ability (I have danced on and off since I was 5 yrs old and my friend had NEVER done hula in her life) and I can't believe that we were taught an entire song in only an hour! We got the video recording add-on and Sarah provided a tripod that works with cameras and phones so it was easy to record the dance. The video is going to be so handy to review when I get back home :) I can't recommend this enough, especially since this will be much better souvenir of your vacation than a tiki doll or a pineapple mug :-P

She makes it fun for all of us to learn hula, and I think it's fascinating to learn that there are descriptions and meaning behind every move! I have personally watched Sarah teach beginners, and have them dancing, pretty good I might add, within minutes. She has great people skills and is very easy to work with. I would recommend Wanna Hula especially for beginners who may not consider themselves dancers, yet need to be 'up and dancing' in a short time. 2 thumbs up for Sarah Chang and Wanna Hula!

This review is in regards to the Zumba class I recently took at Studio 808…read more Studio 808 is located in the heart of Waipahu next to the iconic Leeward Drive-Inn. I've heard of Studio 808's dance programs but have never taken a class until I heard about the Zumba class being offered there. You can take the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor and reach the studio on the Leeward Drive-Inn side. Once arriving, there is a front desk area set up in front of the studio where people were manning. You can pay in cash or Venmo (I did the mobile pay option because I didn't have cash). Fortunately, Studio 808 has also catered the Zumba class as a remote class so you can actually sign up for the class and dance from home by watching the instructor. Upon arriving to the class, the room was overall clean and spacious. Because the class is also done virtually, there wasn't many people in the room. The Zumba instructor was Erin and I have nothing but great things to say about him. As someone who isn't a dancer, Erin was kind enough to teach the lessons via virtual cam and in-person. The overall class was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the music better at Studio 808 compared to the Zumba classes I take at 24 Hour Fitness. I would definitely recommend to go with Erin because he's exudes positive energy, always smiles while breaking a sweat and definitely knows what he's doing. I was even watching the participants online (who were older folks) and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy the class at home as they would in studio. If you're up for doing a Zumba class in Waipahu (or simply at your own home), I would definitely recommend this class to take. Admission is about $7 per class but the first class is free! Classes are every Tuesday from 6-7pm.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to belly dance? Do you like dancing to middle eastern music,…read moreShakira, etc.? Do you wanna feel super-sexy and have fun getting in shape at the same time? Then Shimmy Fitness is just for you! The Shimmy Fitness instructor, Malia, will teach you how to pop those hips, shimmy those hip scarves, undulate that stomach, and move that veil. You'll be sweating and feeling great in no time. By the next day, you should definitely be feeling the ache. But that's a good thing! The class style is that of a monkey see monkey do kind. She starts the music, shows you some moves, and you follow her lead. She'll take you through the basic moves for that song, and then she'll step it up a notch by doing it all in one movement and perhaps a little faster. One of my favorite parts is when we get to dance with the veils. No, it's not like a wedding veil, it's more like a super-thin drape that you get to dance with. The veil-dancing will definitely work out those arms. You'll be wishing you were back to only hip movements! But then again, once you see your toned arms, you'll be glad you get to dance with a drape! Individual hour-long classes are $15 each, while a Shimmy Pass with 4 classes on it is $50. You get your first class for free either from checking in on Yelp, or going to the Shimmy Fitness website: http://www.shimmy-fitness.com/Shimmy_Fitness/FREE_1st_class.html, or by just calling up Malia and asking her about it. If it's your first time going then arrive 10 minutes prior to class so you will have time to register. When you do decide if you would like to buy a pass, Malia accepts credit cards, cash, or check. Aerobic shoes/dance shoes are allowed, but so are bare feet. Wear cool, comfortable workout clothing, bring a water bottle, and get ready to sweat! Yelp365-#020/365
