Founded by Carolyn Castro after extensive training in Polynesian dance, Napua O Polynesia (Flowers of Polynesia) has toured extensively throughout New England at festivals, schools, and traditional performance venues. Napua O Polynesia has represented the state of Rhode Island at The World Invitational Hula Festival, both 1996 and 1999 in Honnolulu, Hawaii. In addition, they dance for Hawaiian luaus, fund-raisers, school functions, cultural events and graduations. Their performances will take you on an unforgettable experience to the Polynesian Islands of Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand, Samoa, and the Phillipine Islands in various songs and dance. This dance form, which uses the drum extensively, is steeped in custom and folklore. Director Carolyn Castro has taught dance for over 20 years, and founded an active community dance program that offers classes in Polynesian dance and arts and crafts, as well as Tahitian and Hawaiian languages. Workshops and performances are held at elementary, middle and high schools, and at local colleges.

(thanks to Carol Buckley for this link) PERFORMANCE & JOB OPPORTUNITIES HULA WORKSHOP OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND Classes & Workshops Contact: Carol Anne Buckley Phone: 401-467-1993 Email: hulaworkshop@mac.com I have specific and ongoing opportunities for experienced hula dancers (and also, just because of the nature of the beast, Tahitian dancers. A. Cultural - I have legitimate-stage, dance-concert and arts-festival opportunities for *serious* *authentic* *trained* *accomplished* hula dancers. These gigs don't pay much (or at all) but they are an opportunity for mea hula and ka po`e Hawaii maoli to perform cultural outreach in beautiful settings, and work with the RI arts community. B. Entertainment - People keep calling me for luau, birthdays, etc. These gigs tend to require at least some tourist hula, and Tahitian never hurts. They generally pay a *minimum* of $100 per dancer for a gig of an hour or less - good for indigent artists and college students. If I know what you can do, I simply refer these gigs to you and you get to plan your own show, negotiate $$, and I don't take a cut. If you qualify and are interested, please contact me at 401-467-1993 or hulaworkshop@mac.com. GUEST INSTRUCTOR AT HULA WORKSHOP I would like to offer a venue for *serious* *authentic* *trained* *accomplished* hula dancers to teach workshops and get paid. We can co-publicize. If you qualify and are interested, please contact me at 401-467-1993 or hulaworkshop@mac.com. |
