Our Kuleana, Our Mission
At Puahi's Polynesian Dance Co., our mission is to bring together dancer, spirit, and culture to strengthen the connection and meaning of the dance. We focus on teaching not just Polynesian dances, but to make a connection between dancer, spirit, and culture. It is our purpose to bring out the essence of the true meaning behind the dances of Hawai'i and Tahiti. We embrace everyone who has a love of the Hawaiian and Tahitian culture.
Our Kumu
Our Kumu, Brenda "Puahi" Malick, has been teaching both Hula and Tahitian dance and culture in the Temecula Valley since 1995. Beginning teaching lessons out of her home, the students began to grow, and we moved to a studio in Temecula. Puahi has established a relationship with her Kumu (Teacher), Kumu Hula Rich Pedrina of Halau Hula 'O Napunaheleonapua, to understand the culture and implement the style and traditions of traditional Hula; Kahiko.
Our Ohana
Our 'Ohana has successfully thrived in Temecula Valley over the years because of our commitment to the knowledge and dedication to the preservation of both Hula and Tahitian dance. Our dancers have continually perfected their dance skills and have grown in knowledge of dance and culture. We have been blessed to be a part of the King Kamehameha Hula Competition under the direction of Kumu Rich Pedrina of Halau Hula 'O Napunaheleonapua. We have also been blessed to compete in several Tahitian Dance competitions throughout Southern California in both Group and Solo competitions.
