Elegant and Swanky Paint Party!!!…read more Such an original type of party for friends. Put together about 12 of us for a Paint the Grapes party. I along with all my guests were extremely impressed with the setup. Very personal and private. Included in our ticket were excellent appetizers / finger foods, wine & beer. Relaxing music provided, but were reminded that we could request any music. Everyone chose their own painting creation. Honestly, our men were not overly excited about the date-night scheduled for them. Surprisingly they all had the most fun and put so much time in their painting. We all look forward to attending another party. I would recommend an event for anyone planning a shower, fundraiser, or just a night out with friends that's a little different.

I started at HHMA (for short) last year and I have to say that I feel happy I found this halua!!…read moreWhen I started my search for a halua, I Yelped halua groups near my area...and came across HHMA's page. Just a note, I am an absolute beginner and have not done hula in the past. So, I was a bit intimidated and overwhelmed with all the searching and visiting. I didn't find much on here, but I decided to contact them anyways. I heard back and I was invited to come check out a class. I felt so welcomed by everyone's warm and smiling faces. I really felt the aloha spirit here! I immediately felt some sort of connection, and a sense that it was already my home. And honestly, I don't have many other haluas to compare to since I only got into contact with two other places. But I stopped my search and decided to join on the spot! So let me break it down!! HHMA has open enrollment once a year...usually in July for people interested in the halua. It goes on until about September. Everyone who is new to the halua, must go through one year of the beginners group (papa lehua). No matter how long you have been dancing, this is the protocol! In this year, you will learn about the beautiful Hawaiian culture/ language, chants, songs, and dances. And you will work up to your graduation, which you will perform all that you have learned in your year. And after you graduate from the beginners class, the class gets separated and placed into the other classes based on your age/ dancing level. And just so you know, they do offer a ukulele class as well! But that's a whole other topic! Here's my personal hula journey, I actually just graduated from the beginners class. And in my beginners class, there are people who have been dancing for many years. And beginners with no real dancing experience like me. And we all learn to dance in sync with each other which I think is pretty cool!! And reflecting back from the first day I started, I have learned so much and have come a very long way! I am having such an amazing time getting to know my hula brothers and sisters. I really have bonded with everyone..we practice, laugh together, and support one another. Coming to class is my highlight of the week! It is so much more than a halua and we are really an ohana (family)..we have ceremonies, events, and potluck parties. Lastly, Kumu Nani (hula teacher) is very reputable in the hula community, so I really feel honored to be learning from someone so prestigious. Kumu is very kind, passionate, takes her hula very seriously, and really dedicated to the HHMA ohana!! Shout out to all her board members too they are all so helpful and will give you love, support and all constructive criticism to be your best!! The dance studio is spacious, clean, and homely. It is located in a small plaza across the street from the cemetery. I am so blessed to have found HHMA. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend anyone curious or interested to come check this place out! You will not be disappointed!

She was very professional and polite. Secondly, the art kits were packaged nicely. Everything came in one little pack: the canvas, the brushes, the paint colors that correspond with the photo, and an apron that was easy to put on the kids. I will say this- it was a group of mostly 6/7 year olds. The attention span for this age group is... not quite long. However, the kids were all focused on painting. It was so quiet. At a party! They took pride in their work and enjoyed that the photo was already printed on the canvas. Other parents commented on how neat everything was and honestly it made the party a unique and fun experience. The best part is that the kids get to take their art work home! I definitely recommend using The Pink Canvas for your event.

It…read moretook place at the Highland Park Rex Center, and they set the stage really well for something spooky - the space was very dark and seeing the building in that state built up a good sense of suspense. The video they make you watch at the beginning also helped hype it up, as you're in a totally dark room and getting primed for some scares to come. The maze was especially scary when we went through it as it seemed like there was nobody else in attendance at the time, so you really got the sense of being all alone in there and knew that all of the scares would be focused on you. The actors' timing was good and they got me a few times for sure. I also liked how they took you through several types of scenery that all felt a bit different. The only part that wasn't great was the ending. They had a sort of blinding light that you had to walk towards, but it wasn't clear where to go from there. We almost went through a curtain back to another part of the maze by accident before we realized we were supposed to go out the door... and then it was over. I think they could have done a better job designating the exit and ending with more of a bang - it would be great to position a scare actor right under that light. This haunt was not on the level of some of the super impressive home haunts that are chock full of props and actors, but it's still a fun time in a local community, and at $3 each or 2 for $5, it's still worth the price of admission.
