I founded the award-winning London School of Hula and ‘Ori (LSHO) in 2011 upon moving to London and, over the past years, I have built a community of engaged dancers and established an authentic voice for Hula and ‘Ori Tahiti in the UK. LSHO is built upon health and wellness through the practice of Hawaiian and Tahitian dance and culture, the preservation of our beloved earth, and the empowerment and connection of womxn through culture, community, and creation.

By uniting past, present, and future through movement that is both ancient and innovative, I aim to help mainstage cultural dance and give voice to indigenous wisdom and art within a modern mainstream context.
