I am so grateful and impressed by the tenaciousness of this dance company in overcoming obstacles! The quote "the show must go on" definitely applies to them and in this regard they have won my heart and loyalty forever! My older daughter has blossomed in their care and now I believe she can go anywhere in the world and dance among the best-trained ballet dancers. Many of the teachers who are there are the same teachers that started 13 years ago. Although the location of the studio has changed, the training remains consistent and methodical! I highly recommend this dance studio!

A new ownership team runs the studio and they are making the most of what is a very nice yoga space. The main studio, which is a light spacious room is really a great place to practice yoga with mirrors, ceiling fans, and infrared heaters. The teachers are all highly experienced. Rhema is who a owner, teaches a Sunday morning flow class which I've enjoyed attending. Her teaching style is encouraging and she relates to a wide range of students abilities. Ruth Y teaches a combination classes, vin to yin that works real good for me at the end of my work day. David, also and owner teaches a vinyasa class which has a Yoga Boot Camp feel to it. Demanding but enjoyable. Parking in front of the studio is really quite easy. They have functional bathrooms and changing area and adequate props for students. They also use an online booking system which is useful because occasionally they've canceled classes for various reasons, Although I've not attended them, they've had some other events at the school that look fun. They had a Halloween party and even a latin and dance night recently. Pricing for the studio is competitive and teachers experienced and well-trained definitely worth trying out to see where you fit in to their program.

The plan was set. As part of my trip, I had tickets to a "luau" type dinner and show with about…read more500 other people. The show was Willie K. Being totally out of touch with the Hawaiian music scene I thought..."Ut oh. Another Don Ho impersonator." I figured I was was going to eat as fast as I could so that when the show started I could slip out before "Tiny Bubbles" started... The dinner was actually pretty good at the Marriott. As I was finishing my dessert, the lights dimmed for the show to start....and I glanced around picking out my escape route. What came on stage was a huge bulky Samoan with hair that spread out 3 feet in diameter.. As he said in his subsequent monolog, if you were on a bus and he boarded it, you would get off the bus and wait for the next one. As he talked to warm up the audience he was actually pretty funny. Then he started to play. WOW. He played the guitar with a bass player and drummer. That was it. Yet, his playing filled the song....strumming and playing solos that seemed to be simultaneous and continuous. He was doing riffs with full cords that most guitarists would have trouble with single notes. He played a range of pop, oldies, folk, country. His solos were a match to any professional musician on the circuit today. In the middle of his set, he then said he was an out of the box musician.....and certainly he looked the part. But then.....he started to sing opera with a modern arrangement. Yes....this was way out of the box......and his voice was impeccable. A purist would probably argue his voice wasnt the best that the Met had to offer, but I have sat through enough operas to know he would at least qualify to audition at the Met. His 1.5 hour set just whizzed by. His skills as a guitarist were some of the best I have ever seen, bar none (I was an usher at the Greek Theater for 3 years and saw the world's best musicians there) His voice had had incredible range in range and in timbre. He could have a very pure operatic voice or a raspy Joe Cockerish twang. At the end of his performance, the whole audience was captivated and yelling "HANA HO." No...that isn't a Hugh Grant saying but what I was told was that it was Hawaiian for "ENCORE." If you are planning a trip to Hawaii and have some flexibility of dates and where to stay....and if you like great entertainment, see if you can attend a Wille K concert. He is that good. Looking at his bio later, I found he has backed up, played with or opened some of the biggest names in the business. One of his songs was Grammy nominated which didn't surprise me in tne the least. Well....my night didn't go according to plan....and I was glad. I would have stayed until dawn if he chose to play that long. I was fortunate to see such a great entertainer. HANA HO.
