Choosing The Best Luau Entertainers

By Eugenia Dickerson


Picking an theme that is as equally fun as it is interesting is the first challenge to planning a spectacular party. There are hundred of great options but the Hawaiian experience is both a popular favorite and one that is easily adjusted to fit most any budget, location and guest dynamic. Hiring the appropriate style of luau entertainers is one way to make sure the celebration makes a memorable impact.

In many cases, the choice of location is going to limit the number of suitable performance options available. When held indoors, such as in a home, at a restaurant or in a hotel, depending on room size and ceiling height, there are some acts that can not be done within acceptable safety perimeters. Open spaces like backyards, beaches and parks are excellent party sites and open up a lot of opportunities.

A Polynesian dance show can be done with a single performer, though the addition of extra dancers, live music and an emcee can make it more versatile and spectacular. The routine usually includes the traditional idea of hula dancing but it also features styles from multiple Pacific islands like Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa and New Zealand. Costume changes and props help create an even more authentic experience.

Everyone loves to watch the beautiful women perform the flowing Polynesian dances, but equally as entertaining are the warrior dancers. These are heavily muscled men with tribal tattoos and traditional costumes that deliver a powerful performance that demands attention and promises many thrills. They enact the powerful ceremonial routines representing bravery, strength and honor during battle.

When space and budget allow, the spectacular show put on by fire-knife dancers is guaranteed to impress and excite guests of all ages. These routines are fast paced and filled with action as flaming knives are tossed and twirled in a frenzy. This makes an excellent choice for a grand finale though it is best performed at night and one should make sure it is done in an open space and that all necessary fire permits are obtained.

If the fire-knife act is too much or one is looking for a great lead in, the fire poi performance is a perfect option. Based on the dances of the Maori from New Zealand, balls on the ends of long braided cords are set ablaze and twirled in circular motions at high speed, writing beautiful designs in the air. Every effort should be made to observe appropriate fire safety and obtain necessary permits for this kind of routine.

Watching the show is amazing but actually getting the audience involved creates a truly memorable experience. People enjoy cheering, learning to dance the Huki Lau, twirling poi balls, blowing conch shells and banging on Tahitian drums alongside the performers. The more guests are invited to participate, the higher the level of enjoyment had by all.

The range of luau entertainers is versatile enough to fill virtually any party need from the very simple to the most extravagant. Dancers, musicians, bird trainers, craftsmen, singers and celebrity impersonators are just a few of the many options available. Consider the space available before booking acts and always be sure to check local ordinances if fire performances are being considered.
