Te Rahiti Nui - San Diego, California

Mi hija tuvo una experiencia hermosa, todas las niñas se apoyan muchísimo y más que un equipo son una familia hermosa. Aunty Michelle es un amor. Definitivamente lo recomiendo.

Te Rahiti Nui is, for me, a home away from home. Our Ra’atiras, Aunty Janice and Aunty Michelle are so incredibly talented at what they do and they will always go the extra mile to make us the best we can be. I’ve seen how long and hard they work to make sure that our choreography and costumes make everyone look amazing and make sure that everyone gets their moment to shine and be seen. They also give us every opportunity they can get to learn about the Tahitian culture, language, and history from masters from Tahiti so we can represent with knowledge and respect. I’ve been here for about five years, and the relationships and community that are built here are built to last. I couldnt been more grateful for this amazing pupu ‘ori

We are in our second year with Te Rahiti Nui and it has been a tremendous joy to watch our daughter Leila not only get better at dancing, but also learn about the culture.

She is guided by two of the best- Auntie Michelle and Auntie Janice who challenge her to continue to grow and channel her mana. They encourage everyone to be at their best as they go all in for their students.

We love the community and the support we have for each other.

We highly recommend Te Rahiti Nui for anyone who is looking to try Polynesian dancing for fun or to compete.

Nothing but the best!

My 7 year old daughter has been dancing with Te Rahiti Nui for the last 2 years. From the beginning this dance family has welcomed us with open arms. Aunty Janice, Aunty Michelle & their assistants love our girls like their own.
My daughter has definitely gained more confidence and determination & we are excited to watch her flourish. She looks forward to her classes every week!

We are so grateful to have such a wonderful & encouraging support system.

Māuruuru roa!

My oldest daughter started dancing in the fall of 2020 - via zoom. in 2021 she started in the studio, quickly friends turned into family. The studio is full of amazing people, the kids get along & are always looking forward to their next class.

Auntie Janice & Auntie Michelle are amazing, along with all the staff of TRN & the aides who are ever so patient with the little ones.

My youngest daughter started dancing in the summer of 2023 & it quickly turned into a family affair. We love being a part of the TRN family & encourage anyone to try it out! i promise you will have a great time & meet some amazing people!

My daughter has been dancing with TRN for almost 2 years now and she loves it! Auntie Michelle and Auntie Janice are amazing dance teachers and have helped her grow so much in Tahitian dancing. Their encouragement, support and motivation can be seen in my daughters growth in the time she has been there. I have recently started dancing myself and I enjoy it so much and it is also a great workout!

I started with very little dance experience and zero natural talent, but I have always admired this dance style and wanted to learn. The instructors are kind and patient and so knowledgeable. It is definitely an excellent workout, and is building my stamina, grace, and balance. I’m so glad that I had the courage to step out of my personal comfort zone and give this a shot!!!

My daughter has been with them for almost 5 years now. I have seen so much growth and confidence in her since she has joined. Her skills in Tahitian dancing have also surpassed my expectations. Both auntie Janice and Michelle know how to make the girls dance their best and be confident on stage. You won’t be disappointed.
