Manea Polynesia

Dance Teacher

To us, this meaning, this passion for all Polynesian Islands, is a mantra for every performance, every practice, and our daily lives. Manea continues to bring the elements of Fire, Earth, Water, and Air into each performance. This season's focus has evolved out of our great respect for this Mother Earth and her Gifts!

For the past 8 years, Manea has received a 5-star rating from our clients on Yahoo, and as a professional performance and theater group was proud to receive the 2nd place in the 2008 Channel 7's A-List awards for Theater Groups. Read more

    I always look forward to class for 3 top reasons 1) guaranteed workout 2) learn/improve on dance techniques to showcase beautiful Polynesian dances and their meanings 3) and family atmosphere. Even though I've been coming for a few years now, the variety of dances taught continue to challenge me. Now my daughter is taking classes and it means so much more to me to share this experience with her.

    I've been dancing with Manea Polynesia for 10 years now. I am continuously amazed by how the thread of love for dance brings us all together - like a family ❤️ If you want to experience Polynesian dance with a twist, strengthen your body and mind, and immerse yourself in the culture and spirit of aloha, this is the place to be!

    Manea Polynesia did a FANTASTIC performance at our holiday party event. They were able to plug into the event space sound system easily. Simone arrived early to ensure everything was good to go. The dancers were professional and changed outfits in record-breaking speed. This is an excellent choice for an event where there are people from babies to adults. The babies (ages 6 months and up) were fascinated and never tired of the performance which was about 30 minutes for us. Eveyrone was "wowed." I could not have asked for more!!

    I am enjoying my new journey into hula dancing so much! Simone is a truly lovely, well rounded teacher who brings amazing energy and a positive attitude as well as experience, knowledge and passion to each class. I feel blessed and excited to have chosen this dance company to learn in. Simone has been so welcoming to me. ... I look forward to more practice, more Aloha and more learning about the Polynesian culture with Simone as my kumu hula! Mahalo!

    I absolutely love Simone!!! Her choreography, costumes, and music choice is just amazing! I grew up in Hawaii and have been dancing for over 15 years and I've never seen such amazing dance routines! She puts an amazing modern twist without losing the culture and history of the art! I love her teaching style and methods, makes it so easy to learn and pick up the routines! N she pushes you to be the best and to give your all!! Love that I can have a part of who I am out here in Colorado!
