    I've been with Makani Kai for over a year now, and I just want to say that Makani Kai isn't just dance school, it's family now. I have previously danced with other halaus throughout NorCal/SoCal and let me tell you that Auntie Laka is the NICEST kumu ever! My previous kumus were so focused on winning and it made dancing horrible! Auntie Laka is all about LOVE LOVE LOVE. If you're looking for a place to belong, it's here. Other halaus that I've danced with I quit super soon just because they made it all about winning competitions and it never became fun anymore. Makani Kai is all about the love of the dance. I'm so shocked at how close I've become with some of the hula sisters in the time that I've been here. I'm usually extremely introverted and I was at first when I joined, but honestly I've never felt more at home away from my real family than here at Makani Kai! Everyone is SO FRIENDLY! You'll find yourself spending time with the hula girls outside of class! I wish I joined Makani Kai earlier! I LOVE YOU OHANA!

    It was fun because I was introduced to Hawaiian music which wasn't part of my usual song lists.

    I have absolutely zero dance experience or hand-eye coordination, so I was surprised when the 2am…read moreClassPass chaos demons led my hand towards a VXN dance fitness class at this studio. The studio is in a shopping plaza with a very popular restaurant, so while there's a decently large parking lot, I took the very last spot in that lot. Walking through the doors immediately takes you to a dimly lit studio, with disco ball-like tiling on the far wall. I was pretty intimidated for about 20 seconds before I was immediately welcomed and brought into the fold. Contrary to many other fitness classes I've attended, the women in this class, both instructors and fellow attendees, took the initiative to talk to me and to the other new person. That alone gave this class a much greater sense of camaraderie and helped me feel less uncomfortable being so far out of my comfort zone. Our class was Bad Bunny themed, which was super fun given his recent halftime show. It was a tad fast paced so I was always a bit behind, but I found out halfway through the class that there are set choreos that the folks who have been there longer have learned, so I felt less bad about being unable to keep up. Despite looking like a puppet in the process of getting its strings cut, I had a good time and got a good workout in. It was very fun and I felt like the time flew by. I definitely want to take more dance fitness classes in the future!

All of the teachers have been wonderful and truly care about helping the kids improve and build confidence. They give the students lots of attention, encouragement, and individual help, which has made such a big difference in her progress over the years. It's been really rewarding watching her skills and confidence grow, and a big part of that is because of the supportive environment at Gemstone. We're very thankful for all the coaches and highly recommend them!
