Liliʻuokalani Center

Horo Te Vaʻa offers a vibrant journey into Tahitian culture through an ʻOri Tahiti program. Designed for teens ages 12–18, this program blends physical movement with cultural learning to strengthen both body and identity.

You’ll build stamina, rhythm, and discipline through sustained practice while exploring choreography, drumming, and narratives that honor Tahitian heritage. Dancing together in an ensemble fosters teamwork, leadership, and a sense of belonging, helping you navigate the challenges of adolescence with confidence and connection.

This program opens doors to an arts pathway often less accessible than sports or academics, giving you a chance to see your Pacific heritage represented and celebrated. Along the way, you’ll grow resilience, pride, and cultural visibility within your community.

Whether you’re new to dance or ready to deepen your skills, this space welcomes you to celebrate the rhythm of Tahiti.
