    Mahana Dance Company is the BEST! Higher caliber from the rest in terms of authentic Hawaiian luau style hula dancers, music, and vibrant costuming. I've worked with Mahana Dance Company for multiple events over the years, and they always exceed my expectations. This time, I hired them for a family birthday party, and they completely elevated the celebration! I reached out just two weeks before the event, and as always, booking was quick and easy. Sunny and the team were professional, accommodating, and made sure everything was set up exactly how I envisioned. On the day of the party, the dancers arrived on time, prepared, and ready to put on a show. And WOW--what a show it was! Their energy, skill, and passion brought the true spirit of Polynesia right to my event. The crowd participation made the show even more immersive. my guests LOVED being part of the show! Mahana Dance Company is my go-to for Polynesian entertainment--whether it's a wedding, birthday, or community event, I refuse to hire anyone else. If you're looking for the best Polynesian entertainment in (insert city) this is it. Mahalo again, I'm already looking forward to the next event!

    Everyone at the party enjoyed the performance, the ladies were amazing and great with the description of the dances and interacting with the crowd! They were also very nice and personable. The performance more than met my expectations and made it a very memorable night! Thank you and Mahalo! Belinda

    Highly recommend. We hired 2 dancers and a Tahitian drummer for my son's engagement luau. Our guests were beautifully entertained.

    WOW! I can't thank you enough for making my birthday the best day of my life. The show was absolutely amazing in every way! It was incredible! 10 STARS

    I booked Mahana Dance company for my daughters 6th birthday drive through luau! The 2 dancers arrived and were absolutely sweet and gorgeous. Pricing is great and reasonable especially with the pandemic still going on. I was a little nervous at first because the responses after inquiry were slow but this place is legit thank goodness and didn't let me down as I've been scammed in the past. I would def go through this company again.

    So grateful to mahana dance company for making my grandmas 100 year birthday party the best ever! The performances, 4 different styles of dances, interaction with guests and their attentiveness to my grandma was so amazing! They made her feel so special. She later said it was the best party she has ever had. All the guests were very impressed with the show and the professionalism of the dancers. I can't say enough about the company helpfulness and kindness and the dancers amazing talents and were so sw

    We are so pleased to have found Mahana Dance Co! Tiare provided several entertainment packages and was able to accommodate our last minute booking for a 30 minute performance/hula gram. She has great energy and brought the beautiful island of Hawaii to us for our office/surprise bday party we were having for our area mgr; who relocated to the OC from the big island. We will definitely hire Tiare again (and dance co) for our next event! Thank you again to Tiare for bringing a fun and engaging energy to our team. Mahalo!

    I contacted Mahana several months ago to hire Moana and possibly have some Polynesian dancers for a city special event and they were very good about booking and communicating. We paid the deposit immediately to secure the booking. There were some minor issues with communication between the assistant, but the owner took care of everything immediately once I contacted her instead. I knew that the owner works from out-of-state so I made sure to stay on top of the booking. As long as you stay in contact and on top of your booking, everything will be good. As far as the performance went, they were great!! The Moana character and villager worked out great together and our community. They were everything I wanted for the event and more! If you are looking for a great Moana and show, this is the place!!!!

    See all

Beyond grateful to be invited to a local production (yes, we paid for our tickets), as this was the first time experiencing theater in a setting like this. The actors are from our local and surrounding communities. Tickets are affordable and supporting local artists/talent is important. I appreciate a great night of entertainment!

    Congratulations! I found a theater that beat the Pantages in discomfort! I know its an old venue…read morebut these are the worst seats I have ever had the displeasure of sitting in for so long. By the end of show my behind hurt, my knees hurt. It was just awful. This is also the first time in my many years of show going I saw (and heard) people leaving during intermission due the discomfort of the seats. One lady even screamed in the narrow passage way to I assume the rest of her party (MY KNEES CANT TAKE ANYMORE). Her husband then said yeah Im running her home and ill be back. This was my first time going to this theater so my first impressions were good at first. Staff seemed personable. We went to see August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean. I have never been to a theater in a U shape before. I have decided I dont care for it. There were so many times where I didnt know what was going on because the actors back was to me. I dont know if there was a kiss, a nose snuggle, who knows. My partner also point out that in one scene on our side we saw that one actor was rubbing anothers foot. This was how the piece came back from the dark. He pointed out that the folks on the other side had zero clue because they just saw her back. He also pointed out how much wasnt really used and the set could have been "pushed back" for better viewing and I agree. I also found it distracting for me to see the audience across, folks were laughing and speaking in times that didnt call for it and for someone like me who is ever observant it was a distraction. Final complaint the smoke machine was too much for me. It literally made me start coughing. The people I was with also said it got to them in other ways. The sound was good, lighting good. If I am invited back to a performance at this place as I was this time, I would have to see the run time of the piece. This piece went on for almost 3 hours and oh how could I forget started close to 20 minutes late! Just not cool man. As a first time goer it made me wonder if this is the norm for this theater and would have to keep that in mind as well.

The stage was raised 2-3 feet so unless you are in the first few rows, you end up watching the show in the large screens on both sides of the stage. Unfortunately, it got worse from there. The show was Disappointing, and not real burlesque. This is simply a non-nude strip show. Real burlesque is about subduction and teasing an audience, not ruff gyrations in fancy costume, with an expensive light show, a fog machine and blaring music. Although the show had about 10 different scenes, none were original or creative. All were a cliché, the Carman Miranda with the fruit skull cap, dominatrix in black shiny vinyl outfit, sexy secretary with black rim glasses, sequence belly dancer outfit with vails that get pulled down and that turns into cowgirls with a western song playin, down to the bride with Billy Idols white wedding playing. The music is to loud, to the point the speakers distort the sound. The songs chosen are the same used in every strip show and topless bar TV show and movie scene depicting stripping. The sad part is this show had the potential to be good given the production value and obvious costs spent on costume and lights alone. The best description I can give is, this is what a 14 year old boy thinks burlesque is. It's not, it's ladys gyrating and waving their asses in the air. No sudction, no teasing, just scantly clad lady, who are not really sexy. The dancer who acts as an MC asking the audience to yell louder for her fellow dancers. If you want to see a strip show without going to a strip club, then this shows is for you. If you want Burlesque, save your money and wait and see Dita von Tease or someone similar. I have seen many Burlesque shows, from the Dirty Show performances to The Empire Strips Back, to local theater production style shows put on is unused factory's to local theaters. All were better then this, even if they did not have expensive costumes and light show. If you want a strip show go to your local strip club. If you want burlesque, this show is not, skip it.

    This was my first visit to the Long Beach Terrace Theater to see Joe Satriani and Steve Vai touring…read moretogether as the SatchVai band. The venue has its own multi-story parking lot which is very easy to access, and only charges $15. We arrived thirty minutes before the show, and there was no line to enter the parking lot with many parking spaces available. After a very short walk across the garage and going up a one-story staircase (there is also an elevator), we were on the ground level with the theater. Unfortunately, you have to walk all the way around the large fountain area to reach the security checkpoint and entrance. There was no line and we passed through quickly. Luckily, after the show, you could walk directly to the garage without having to go around again. The theater seats around 3,000 people and has floor, loge, and balcony sections. It is very clean and has a modern feel. The main lobby is spacious and has high ceilings. There are bars on all levels, and some basic food items downstairs. There were also a few food and drink spots in front outside. The concert hall has very high ceilings and is also very modern. We sat on the floor in the second row. The seats were padded and comfortable, and the spacing between adjacent seats and between rows was good. The view of the performers was amazing. There was a large projection screen behind the stage, with various video playing throughout the show. There was some fog on the stage, and the lighting was good, but nothing exceptional. Sitting so close is great for pictures and videos, and you're oblivious to the other 2,900 people in the theater. It almost feels like you're getting a private performance. However, the sound can be hit or miss depending on the performers' preferences and venue's audio setup. The main speaker arrays here hang directly over the first few rows in front of the stage. For the opening band, we couldn't hear any of the guitars at all. Joe played almost completely through his on-stage amps only and the sound was perfect. Steve's mix was half through his amps and half through the main speaker arrays. We could hear his guitar, but not nearly as well as Joe's. It's not the venues fault, the sound is usually optimized for the majority of the theater, and the first few rows may suffer. The opening band was Animals As Leaders. I've seen them a few times over the years as an opener for Steve Vai. They are an instrumental guitar focused band with the unique characteristic that both guitarists use eight-string guitars which gives them a unique sound. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai started out the main show together. They are two of the greatest rock guitar legends to ever play. They played a few original songs together that they co-wrote, followed by both individual and joint performances of a dozen of their popular songs. Steve's unique three-neck Hydra guitar made an appearance. There was also an encore with cover versions of Rock and Roll and Born to be Wild. I've seen Joe 25 times and Steve seven times, and I'll continue to go to every show when they are in town. In between the opening band and the main show, we immediately went to use the ground level restrooms which are downstairs. The lines were already extremely long. On a whim, we went upstairs and the restrooms on both sides initially had very short lines. After only five minutes, the upstairs lines also started to get long. Go upstairs fast and you should have a much shorter wait. The show was great and I really liked the venue. It's modern, clean, and comfortable, with various amenities. The sound mix was a mixed bag sitting in front, but it wasn't the venue's fault. If you want the best chance of a good sound mix, don't sit up front. Parking was very convenient and very affordable. I would definitely come see a show here again. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

The thing that stood out was the nice courtyard decor of water fountains. The vibe radiated as the fountains were sparkling, giving the ambiance of a fresh cool entertainment settimg. The outside really looks cool at night because of the lighting structure. I have been here many times before. Experiencing both indoor and outdoor venue entertainment. Just to name a few.. Jokoy, air supply, 90s old school R&B funk jam , Franki Valli and the list goes on. Its not very big inside, in comparison to Crypto or the inglewood forum but it does its job. Stadium seating could use some work if they decide to remodel in the future. Its a clean place with great acoustics. The only negative thing I have to say is the sale of alcoholic beverages! The venue shuts down completely early. Like 9pmsh! Unacceptable for an entertainment venue. I recommend watching concerts or any type of events in this area. Plenty of parking in the parking structure and surrounding businesses nearby. Long Beach is beautiful.
