THE HAWAIIAN DANCE COMPANY FAQ PAGE

The Hawaiian Dance Company Provides Authentic Hawaiian Dancers & Fire Performers For Parties and Events in Toronto, Niagara Falls, Vaughn, Mississauga and All Of Ontario!

The Hawaiian Dance Company in Toronto is proud to be the first and only authentic dance company to come out of what is most likely the smallest ethnic minority group to exist in Ontario - The Polynesians/South Pacific Islanders.  Just so you have an idea in Ontario there are less than 30 full-blooded Indigenous South Pacific Islanders (Hawaiians, Tongans, Samoans, Tahitians, Maori etc.) and most of us are related. The Hawaiian Dance Company was started by a Polynesian mother, who moved from these South Pacific Islands to Toronto in the early 1970s, and her daughter.  The mother, La'aina Mo'ungaloa, is a Fahu (Chief of her family).  La'aina's family business back home  'The Good Samaritan Inn' in Tonga had the country’s best ' Lu'au show' for 30 years regularly frequented by the Tongan Royal Family.  Check out more about our beginnings on our ABOUT US page.    We take pride in presenting an authentic showcase of our culture featuring the most exciting dances, songs, and costumes of the islands straight from the heart of Polynesia.

PERFORMANCE/STAGE AREA REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DANCERS

A 10 Foot X 10 Foot area is sufficient. If this space is not available we make it work.  We have even danced on the edge of a diving board below a full pool! Basically if the dancers can stand they can dance on the spot.  It's all about the hips:)

CHANGE AREA FOR THE DANCERS

Please provide a room or closed off area for the dancers to change in private.  In your home a spare room would do the trick.  In an event space the bridal suite, if it's free, or another change room would be perfect.  Unfortunately bathrooms are not acceptable due to the amount of costumes the dance company comes with. We ask that you sort this out in advance before the day of our event. 

PARKING FOR DANCERS

You the client must provide free or validated parking for the dancers. Each dancer travels separately so if you hire 3 dancers we need 3 parking spots.  If you are hiring your dancers to come to your home please let us know whether we can park in your driveway or tell us about the closest street parking.  If you are hiring dancers to perform at a banquet hall please make sure their is either free visitors parking or that you pay for or validate parking.  Please sort this out in advance.  There is a section in your contract that will ask you where we are to park.  We want to make sure that on the day of your event everything runs smoothly and that dancers are not delayed because they cannot find parking.

HOW DO I PAY FOR MY SHOW?

 We will send you an invoice where you can use a CREDIT CARD to make your 50% Deposit. Your balance is due on the day of your show. Please look up our email address in your email and CLICK ON the invoice we sent you and use your CREDIT CARD to pay off your balance.
