You are hiring a package, not a per-dancer rate

The price covers the full group for your event: the dancers, the musicians, and a production manager. That is different from booking individual performers one at a time. This page covers what you pay to hire the show, not what individual performers are paid.

Hiring a fire knife dancer

A fire knife dancer comes with the Hibiscus and Bird of Paradise packages. For Plumeria and Pikake, one can be added for $570 plus Hawaiʻi tax. Open flame needs your venue’s approval, and hotels, timeshares, and private homes each decide differently. We confirm it with the property before it is treated as booked.

What else belongs in the budget

Sound and lights, tables and chairs, décor, and food arrangements are priced separately from the package. For events outside Maui, travel is added to the quote.

Choosing the right lineup

The guest count and the space decide the lineup. A small dinner can work with two dancers and one musician. A large lawn or a company event usually needs more dancers and musicians so everyone can see and hear. Tell us your guest count and venue and we recommend a lineup.

Where we perform

We plan private events on Maui, Oʻahu, Kauaʻi, and the Big Island. Our production team is based on Maui, and performers and vendors are coordinated for each island.

Family-owned and managed Luau. Great show by itself, the dancers are magical. But what I enjoyed the most was the stories they tell you.

Usually, with the property’s approval. Send the address and the property contact and we confirm what the venue allows for staging, sound, and fire before anything is booked.
