“Tehani and her staff were amazing. They really made my party so exciting and fun. [She] kept the energy level up the whole night and was so much fun to work with. I highly recommend her for any party you have where you need a professional dancer. Mine was for a luau, Tahitian dancing and she was awesome, even did a fire dance. Her crew socialized with my guests and everything couldn’t have gone any better. Thanks for a great time and wonderful entertainment! ”

One of our favorite training jobs here at Spirit Dancer Productions is to create choreography for clients preparing for special events and occasions. Some of our favorites include father-daughter dances at weddings and (recently) a company-wide flash mob at a retirement party.
