She teaches fun, lively, and substantial dances that reflects filipino/Hawaiian culture.
Having so much fun while learning, great camaraderie with the instructor and dancers, family atmosphere. Our instructor, Neni, is very kind, loving and very patient. Her passion in teaching and honing the skills of her students is truly admirable.
If you want to learn basic hula, it’s a great way to start. You can learn on your own pace and there is no pressure. Dance instructors are great and very nice. I had so much fun working with Tropical Rhythms Hula Dance Troupe.
I have been dancing with Tropical Rhythms for 15 years now ever since I was 5 years old. Neni has always been a very patient and caring dance instructor to all her students, and is extremely knowledgeable in the art of hula dancing. It has been a great pleasure to have grown with Tropical Rhythms in graceful hula dancing, but most importantly, growing in self-confidence.
Such a wonderful and beautiful experience! I learned many dances and techniques of hula. Getting to dress up with beautiful colors was so fun. Performing hula in front of an audience turned me from a shy little girl to a woman who loves to dance.
I’m a business woman and pretty busy but love to dance and Neni always accommodates me with my busy schedule and will do other ways so I can dance , either by sending the video that I can practice at home or change the schedule practice . I love her as my Hula teacher , she is so passionate and a very nice person .
Tropical Rhythms provides a wholesome environment for learning cultural dance, sharing talent, and fostering love of the performing arts and service of the community. They are warm and welcoming group of talented people who have a common passion for dance and culture. No matter what skill level you are at, rest assured you build your confidence in performing the many dance routines with the masterful and patient tutelage and encouragement of the teacher/s. Key is coming to practice and taking advantage of the videos they provide to supplement practice at home at your own time. Neni is a wonderful teacher and performer. The troupe has a vast repertoire of dances and wide array of performance ensembles. I learned so many routines and have enjoyed performing with the group. It isn't just a dance group, it is family. I am so grateful for the opportunity to dance with Tropical Rhythms. Thank you to Neni and her sister Bessie for inviting and welcoming me and for all that you have shared of your time, talent and passion for dance.
They are teaching you step by step and patiently till you learn the dance. And they are all fun to be with. Friendly and easy to get along with. Highly recommend !!
It has been a pleasure working with Neni and Tropical Rhythms for almost twenty years. Her teaching has allowed many dancers over the years to progress from beginner to amateur and professional. Her shows are informative, exciting and educational. Neni has helped me develop my ukulele, voice and hula talents and showcase them in venues of both small and large audiences.
I like the Tropical Rhythms because I have learned a lot of dance. Especially, I love to dance plus it’s fun and I made lots of new friends. 😊
Very easy to learn dance moves. The hula dance troupe can bring the beauty of the Islands right to your doorstep. Dance instructor and all member are awesome!.
I had so much fun working with TR. Not only did they teach me so many kinds of dance, they also taught me how to learn them quickly and effectively. Being with TR is so much fun and I enjoyed every event that I had attended with them.
I always recommend TR to people I know to experience the joy of Hula dancing.I am really enjoying working with Tropical Rhythms Hula Dance Troupe. I am working full time but wanted to have something to do as professional detachment from my work. I am glad I found TR through a friend of mine. Neni is a very good teacher. She is so sweet and so knowledgeable with what she does. I am excited everytime we have practice and performances. I have indeed learned alot from her and definitely highly recommend Neni. Shes not only and amazing Teacher but also an amazing person. Thanks Neni and keep up the good work.😘❤
Tropical Rhythms Hula Dance Troupe has taught me how to be confident in myself, and be able to be a better dancer. The other dancers and I have a strong bond with each other. We have gotten close as time went by and the group truly felt like a second family to me. Tropical Rhythms not only taught me how to hula dance but they also taught me what it means to be a hula dancer, and the culture surrounding the dance. I love working in Tropical Rhythms because not only do we dance/ perform but we also make people smile, and make their day better!
It is more than learning the dance and grow like a family member. I love being with them and I highly recommend this group.
I have known Neni for more than 20 years and have been dancing with her group... she is an awesome teacher, kind patience and loyal... she brings out the best in each dancer. She is loved by her kids hula ... all her students become awesome dances and are talented !!!! She is a must for Hula teacher ... never an unkind word from her 💋
