Te Ori Mana Polynesian Dance Studio - Hawaiian (Hula) and Tahiti (Ori Tahiti) 40165 Murrieta Hot Springs Road, Murrieta, CA 92563

"I joined this studio to become a better dancer. I never knew that there was a difference between “modern” and “traditional” types of dancing. (I want to learn the authentic ways personally). I was very happy to learn that this studio teaches the traditional ways! I have been taught both hula and tahitian with outstanding instructors. Our Kumu (special teacher) is the most amazing human on this planet! He is extremely knowledgeable in the Hawaiian ways and I’ve learned and experienced and been shown so many things that I never knew existed! It is beyond magical and so awesome to learn and be apart of this studio. I beam with pride when I tell people which studio I belong to because they are just so authentic! Little did I know that they are the ones to put on the Taste of Tahiti show that I was so proud to dance in! I love that the founders and a couple of the instructors are from Tahiti and Hawaii. Also, our Ori masters that come in to teach/train us Tahitian come from both Hawaii and Tahiti! It is just so amazing to be apart of such a close knit Ohana(family) of instructors, students, teachers and founders. It doesn’t get better than this!"

"My daughter Caitlyn loves her dance classes at Te Ori Mana Polynesian Dance Studio. The staff and students are always very friendly and welcoming. This dance studio is truly the best! We greatly appreciate the countless hours that the instructors spend teaching their students. Thank you for giving my daughter such an inspiration along with motivation to be part of an extraordinary dance studio."

"TOM was my first official introduction to dancing Polynesian dance! They teach traditional Hula & Ori Tahiti. What I love the most is that they teach the history and meanings behind choreography and songs we sing/chant. ALSO, they bring in Kumu’s and Ori masters from Hawaii and Tahiti. We get to collaborate with our sister studios from these islands too! There are just so many opportunities to indulge in island culture right here in Murrieta! I’ve been with the studio since 2021, and I’ve loved every second of it."

"This studio has the most family like atmosphere I have ever experienced. When I started at this studio I had freshly moved from Florida to california. The people I’ve met here have become long term friends and relationships in my life. Of course while I was learning a bunch of new dances and skills which is all so much fun, I also sort of formed a new family which I love."

"Te Ori Mana has definitely become more than just a dance studio to me. It has become my family. From the moment you walk in the studio there is a genuine welcoming from each person. The instructors are so passionate, inviting, & helpful to everyone! This studio offers so much more than just hula/ori dance. You’ll learn the culture, the language and you will definitely gain knowledge for the meaning of each dance. Whether you are a beginner or have dance experience this is a place you want to be a part of ❤️"
