Leis must be provided, unboxed, and ready to hand out before the performance start time. Hula Carolina does not provide or prepare leis.
The show must start within one hour of the lei greeting, regardless of any prior delays. The performance will still conclude at the contracted end time, regardless of the actual start time. No interruptions during the performance for any reason, including but not limited to awards, speeches, or recognitions.
Photo ops are welcome during the lei greeting, but not after the performance concludes.
Hula Carolina will break down equipment and depart immediately following the performance. If required to remain on-site longer before breakdown, this must be arranged in advance and will incur an additional charge.
Our show is primarily Hawaiian-focused, while also sharing dances and their cultural roots from Tahiti and New Zealand. A live emcee narrates throughout, explaining the cultural and historical significance of each dance as the performance unfolds.
Expect elaborate costume changes throughout the show, and a crowd favorite: a real, live hula lesson, teaching your guests an actual hula dance.
Hula Carolina was founded by a performer who held a staff position at the Old Lahaina Luau on Maui, and also performed throughout Maui's resorts with Tihati and Manutea Productions. Most of our dancers are of Polynesian descent — Hawaiian and Samoan — representing their own culture rather than imitating one, and several also carry competitive dance backgrounds.
