“Hawaii Dance Arts is positively outstanding! Have 2 students attending (ages 7 and 10) and neither had been exposed to dance previously. Both now experience Ballet, Tap and Hip-Hop delightfully under the guidance of Miss Vanessa! The instruction they receive is not only technically accurate, but is delivered professionally with a keen eye toward each dancer’s own motor development! My kiddos have experienced not only the joy of dance and movement, but have also had the fun of participating as Hawaii Dance Arts students in the Manoa Christmas parade and the opportunity to perform in a full stage recital!
I wholeheartedly encourage everyone, boys & girls of every age, as well as adults, to experience the joyful and healthy movement of dance under the tremendous guidance provided at Hawaii Dance Arts!"

"We love Ms. Vanessa and Hawaii Dance Arts! Ms. Vanessa has been teaching my girls (teens) for years now for Ballet, Pointe, Contemporary, and Tap lessons. She is a wonderful teacher who is fun, energetic, positive and supportive. Ms. Vanessa is an experienced dancer and a skilled teacher with advanced techniques. Her lessons are fun and challenging, her choreography for practice routines and shows are artistic and beautiful. My girls and I always feel welcomed by her at the studio. We are so lucky to have Ms. Vanessa and Hawaii Dance Arts. If you are looking for safe and friendly dance lessons for kids and adults, this place is it!

"I was thoroughly impressed with the compassion and leadership during the class and feel very grateful to have found Hawaii Dance Arts. The most important thing for our family at this age (under 5) is finding positive teachers who blend instruction with fun, and you certainly created the perfect environment. Thank you".
