Reviews:
"Best Luau on Maui" San Francisco Chronicle
featured on the NBC's Today Show
|
| The evening reaches its peak when
three fire dancers performs a thrilling triple fire dance.
Fireknife Dance- The most exciting of the dances from Polynesia.
The Samoan Fireknife Dancers twirls and tosses razor sharp
knives set ablaze high above his head and catches them. Thrilling
and exciting, this is a dance that will long be remembered.
