HULA LESSONS by YOU WANNA HULA STUDIO
Sarah,
Thank you so much for being the best teacher ever. The show was last night and boy, it was a huge
success. I received so many compliments on the opening number. (Hula). Everything went according to
plan and the Bodybuilding competitors were really happy. Thank you so much for everything, you made
this dull star, shine so bright on stage.
Once again, thank you.
2006 Mrs. Hawaii
Dancing on the Waikiki Beach with Sarah was one of our highlight of our trip to Hawaii. Sarah is a beautiful
dancer and outstanding at engaging her clients and passing on the Aloha Spirit. We had a magical time
and learned a lot from her too! There was a group of 7 of us and we all agreed that Sarah is the BEST! If
we return to Oahu we will definitely find Sarah again! In our opinion it is one of the "must dos" on the
Island!
Lisa A., Ballet Dance Instructor
I really liked having the lesson on the beach at sunset because it made it so much more special and
memorable. I also liked that there was a story behind each movement. . . my lesson made me feel excited
like I was doing something that most people don't get to do when they visit Hawai`i. I would definitely
recommend it to others.
Erin M., Learned a hula in 30 minutes, only ballet dance experience
Aloha!
Yesterday, my parents invited us to a dinner party. There, my mother (who is 72 years old) said how
pleased she was in Honolulu with you. She said you are very beautiful and bright, and taught hula very
kindly. And you took my parents to their hotel by your car. Thank you very much for all your efforts with
them. Thank you again. If you have a chance to come to Japan, please let me know. I am willing to escort
you to good places.
Dr. Shumei Murakami, Osaka University Professor
I got an email from a listener from BIG CORPORATION, Japan. He said all the employees were enjoying
watching the first hula of the company president, Mr. Murakami. They loved their president more because
his hula was so cute!
Reiko R., Studio Rim Hawaii Radio
I am learning hula for the first time. Sarah's teaching is very good and her English is easy to understand.
Putting the hula song information on the internet was a good idea because I can look at it later in Japan. I
really want to say thank you. I want many people to have the chance to learn hula from Sarah.
Shiho Y., Learned a song in 4.5 hours, no hula experience
My only experience dancing hula is from taking one free lesson at a shopping center when I came to
Hawai`i. I decided to dance hula at my wedding because I heard it's common for Hawai`i local brides to
dance hula on their wedding day.
On my wedding ceremony day, my family, relatives and friends were overjoyed and so overwhelmed with
emotion that some of them cried. I didn't know that I could communicate such deep emotions from dancing
hula. So, I was happy.
Mina P., Learned wedding hula in 3 hours, little hula experience
It was great - Excellent!! Sarah is so bubbly - I loved her -
Kathy B., Dance Instructor. Learned 2 songs in 1.5 hours
Sarah was great-she taught quickly but thoroughly according to our learning speed. Thank you for such a
great experience! I would highly recommend this to anyone: the one-on-one experience is something you
can't find anywhere else!
Tamika P., Celebrated her mom's birthday by learning hula together
Instruction was terrific. She was very patient with me (who has no talent!) Thank you very much: I will
practice this & hopefully can coordinate my arms, feet, & hips!! Thanks again, Sarah!
Kaye S., Tamika's mother
Sarah is a good teacher. She was full of knowledge for her craft, hula. She was kind and patient with a
cheerful persona. I highly recommend Sarah.
Jamey L., Dance Instructor. Learned a hula song in memory of her father
Child R's hula experience is a complete fulfillment to our family. It has been Keiki (Child) R's dream to
dance hula. Teacher Sarah made that dream come true! Thank you Sarah for sharing with us this
wonderful experience. You are an easy person to work with, very committed to your craft.
Teacher Sarah has strong value in making sure her student does not just learn hula, but enjoys it! Thank
you again! We hope to cross paths and will continue to think about you whenever we see Child R perform!
"B" Family, Purchased the Bird of Paradise Package and 2 performance DVDs for their child

TAHITIAN DANCE LESSONS by YOU WANNA HULA STUDIO
It was so much fun dancing Tahitian!! The way Sarah taught was easy to understand. When I can do the
basic steps better, I want to learn songs. Thank you so much.
Akiko C., Took an introductory Tahitian dance class
It was wonderful! Thanks very much, it was a great Christmas present for my mom.
Yvette O., Purchased a gift certificate for a mother-daughter Tahitian dance lesson
My experience was great! Sarah was a great and patient instructor! This was a great gift for my 30th
birthday. I learned 3 dances and enjoyed every minute.
Sherone R., Received a Tahitian / Hula combo lesson for her birthday
Sarah was a very friendly instructor. I felt happy and excited and would definitely recommend her to a
friend. Keep doing exactly what you are doing!
Erica N., Purchased the Tiare Package

HULA & POLYNESIAN LUAU SHOWS by WANNA HULA PRODUCTIONS
I hired Sarah for my daughter's 1st Birthday/Baby Luau. She really went above and beyond my
expectations. What I thought would be just a Hula performance and lessons turned into a whole production
complete with wonderful musicians and a photographer that she has teamed with in the past...the whole
package! On top of that everyone really enjoyed her beautiful Hula and learned new steps from her
lesson! I would highly recommend her to entertain for any event or for lesson!
Pete C., Hired Sarah as Hula Instruction/Entertainment
You performed at my wedding! I just wanted to say that it was truly a magical and beautiful performance!
Thank you so much for making our day so special! Our guests truly had a spectacular time learning hula!
Love, Grace and Roger H.
Sarah compliments the rich tradition of hula with a performance and teaching style that is contemporary,
elegant, and comfortable. She is a professional, organized, resourceful and flexible event planner capable
of fine-tuning her services to a wide range of events. She is personable, communicative, and a pleasure to
work with.
William P., Eight Inc., Hired Sarah as a Entertainment/Event Planner in 2008
Got to thank you again for the greatest hula dancing ever!!! You dance so gracefully on stage. I could not
have asked for a more beautiful dancer than you. You have such a great attitude and happy disposition.
Keep on smiling!!! Hope that we get the chance to work together again soon. Again, Thank You!!
Dean G., Hired Sarah for a Don Ho Tribute Show at Ala Moana Center Stage
Sarah is simply fabulous! She kept her grace, professionalism and smile in the midst of the loudest most
difficult group to perform for-grads and their families.
Sarah arrived early enough to set-up, worked well with the venue management in the midst of noisy chaos,
stayed flexible to our schedule, and never lost her smile. Her ability to work in such a small area of the
crowded room was amazing. Our guests filled 3 sets of 10, and each one was able to fully enjoy her
dance.
As Sarah taught our guests a special Tahitian dance, she attracted the notice of the table next to us-they
wanted to join in! While offering a professional smile, Sarah maintained that everyone could enjoy the
show but she was here for her clients.
I am so happy to offer Sarah the highest recommendation on all levels.
Toni S., Hired Sarah for Hula & Tahitian Entertainment at Lulu's Restaurant & Bar in Waikiki
Thank you for making our wedding reception on 2/21/09 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village a dream fulfilled. I
want to express my pleasure in working with you. You played a pinnacle role and without your excellent
dancers our party would have not been nearly as entertaining. Thankfully you possess all the qualities of
being a superb dance coordinator and we were lucky to have found you and the pair of Tahitian dancers.
They are quite stunning beauties in their own right and they really worked the crowd well. The audience
participation was a highlight and we still get laughs when we see the pictures. I have nothing but praise to
speak of you and your professionalism. Mahalo!
Mike I., Dell Inc.
