I started my daughter this year (2019) through a referral of one of the moms I knew from my daughter's daycare. Auntie Camille was super sweet and welcoming. My daughter enjoys the Monday classes. We also started the Saturday classes which I have to get her warmed up to. The instructors are good, they do their best I don't have an outrageous high expectation, its hard enough to be a teacher yet, it's even harder to be a teacher to children because not all kids have a long attention span. Im happy that I found this new dance family for my daughter. We plan to be with them for a long time. read more

Manuia is family. I started my daughter at Manuia when she was 3 and right before the lockdown. I was going to pull her out when COVID happened, as when they started virtual classes I thought it was not going to be worth it, but I am so glad I let her stay. It was a perfect extra curricular for her during lockdown and she learned so much virtually. They had virtual showcase and the kids learned the dances just though the screen and to me that was amazing. Teachers Fue and Jackie are very patient to the kids. Now that Manuia has been open in person, they were able to do in person shows lately, one of which was in Chase Center for the Warriors Polynesian Heritage Night. That was a very memorable experience for my daughter. Not only that she's learning different dances, coming out of her shell and is more confident, but Manuia is like a family to us. She's making new friends and the amazing team: Auntie Camille, Uncle Tommy, lovely teachers Fue and Jackie and the rest of the Manuia teachers and drummers are very welcoming and talented in more ways than one. read more

I've been taking classes at Manuia on and off since high school. I've never fully commited to it because of conflicts like work and school but recently, my friend and I decided to commit to taking classes regularly! I love coming to dance classes. It was initially a bit intimidated since there were all levels at the beginners class but with each class, I feel more and more confident! I love the people there-- everyone is very welcoming and helpful. The instructors can be very stern but always in a very encouraging and helpful way and never rude. At $42 a month, it is a bit steep but if you can commit then it is well worth your time and money! read more

Both my daughter and I started dancing with Manuia earlier this year (she tried when she was 6 but wasn't ready to fully commit). Dancing with this group has really helped my daughter come out of her shell and gain confidence. Fue and Nikki are great with the girls... And not to mention this is a great work out for both of us! We plan on staying with the group and dancing so long as our schedule permits. So happy to find a new family in Manuia! read more

We LOVE LOVE LOVE our dance fam! Both my boys and I have been dancing with Manuia part-time for the last few years. Shout out to the admirable Uncle Tomi, Auntie Camille, Kristin, Fue, Sone, our drummers who make those beats happen, and all our of expert teachers, fellow dance sisters/brothers (Hayward and Daly City studio) for always pushing us beyond limits. Forever grateful and so proud to be a part of Manuia! We are one big Ohana! For the love of dance and the beautiful Polynesian culture... I totally recommend coming here hands down! Prepare for blood, sweat, and tears (in a good way.) When I say push beyond limits I mean it. No slacking! We learned what it takes to be patient, have determination, confidence, give and receive encouragement, be part of something so special that people can't stop talking about it. Not to mention dance along some of the world's best dancers! They are phenomenal! Dance with us! Bring your pareo and don't forget to SMILE! Cheeehoo! read more

My daughter started dancing for Manuia when she was 4 now 6 and absolutely loves Manuia and her instructor Nikki. I appreciate the fact that they do TRADITIONAL POLYNESIAN DANCING...non of that hollywood stuff people make up along they way. Coming from Samoan desent, I take pride in my culture and loved that Manuia teaches samoan dancing. My daughter learned a samoan dance as well and i was happy to see her representing. Dancing for polynesian people is not just dancing! Theres history that needs to be taught and learned,every dance has a story. There aren't alot of dance groups that offer all the islands of polynesia. Bottom line, Manuia is a good dance school and Uncle Tomi is awesome too. read more

I love taking my Polynesian dance class here. It's $42 a month and you can go to an unlimited amount of classes. The teachers are very good; they can be nitpicky at times but never in a rude way. Everyone is very supportive and the atmostphere is always very warm and family-like. If you're into taking a Polynesian dance class or getting a good workout, sign up! :) read more

I hired the Tahitian dancers for my wedding reception as a surprise to our guests. It was a surprise to us how good they were. They had a 5 piece fully equip band with Tahitian drums, microphones, amps, guitar, singer. 7 beautiful women dancers in full costumes that had everyone attention. Our guests were treated to 4 performances and crowd participation performance. I never laughed so hard when my Mother just let herself go in a Tahitian hip shake down. Our guest could not stop saying how much fun they had at our wedding. The performance was worth every penny they did an excellent job. Well done! read more

Not really organized at all. Had my 5 yr old daughter join and instead of letting me know that she should just join the next round of new comers instead of putting her with girls that already knew all the routines was a waste of our time. read more

Can't say enough good things about Manuia Polynesian revue!! Their over the top performance at my wedding really made our reception into a memorable party that my friends and family will talk about for years to come. Tahitian, Maori, Samaon & of course Hawaiian dancing are all represented with great live music & drums. Mahalo to Tommy and the gang for thier great show!!! read more

They are the best dancers ever!! They did a great job at my daughter's graduation party.. couldn't ask for more.. Tommy has a good eye in dancers!!! read more

Great People, Great Music, Amazing Talent and beautiful performance!

Graceful, & fun for all. Proud to have my daughter dance for Manuia.

This is a wonderful and professional dance group that focuses mainly on Tahitian, Hawaiian and Samoan dance. Classes are held atleast 4 days a week and all ages and skill levels are welcome. I always get a great workout and improve my dancing skills during every class, and I have made some of my best friends through this group. I've been a member for about 5 years and I still love going to practice :) It's also probably the least expensive Polynesian dance group you can find in the bay area (about $40/month). You also have the opportunity to perform in shows and compete if you like! read more

I love the dancing, the people, the music, the culture! and I can get all of these from Manuia! What a great workout too!

i love my dance group, forever and ever! it may seem daunting at first and overwhelming but i promise you, if you go every week and just keep at it, eventually your legs will be able to crush cans, your figure will become shaped like an hourglass (mine did! although my belly pooch will never disappear....), and your heart will forever feel a thrill inside when you hear the drums start to beat. read more
