Choosing The Best Luau Entertainers

By Eugenia Dickerson


The first step to planning a fantastic party is picking a theme that is fun and interesting. The possibilities are endless, though a Hawaiian motif is one of the more popular choices as well as one of the most versatile. Selecting the right type of luau entertainers is one way to cater the festivities to fit the guest dynamic and really send the wow factor over the top.

One thing to take into consideration is where the party is to be held because it will impact the options that will be viable. Some acts will not be suitable for indoor spaces because of limited footage and ceiling issues. Open areas like beaches, parks and backyards allow for much more freedom of choice, though size and local ordinances will still need to be factored into the equation.

One person can give a satisfactory performance but if wanting a true Polynesian dance experience, two to ten dancers, live musicians and perhaps an emcee will make it truly spectacular. Styles originating in several of the Pacific islands including New Zealand, Samoa, Tahiti and Hawaii are all included in a full routine. The more people in the troupe allow for more diversity as well as multiple costume changes.

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.

Normally used as an opening act for the fire-knives, or in place of them, the fire poi pots are always a big hit. This is inspired by a dance done by the Maori of New Zealand in which balls attached to the end of long braided cords are set aflame and then twirled at high speeds to create amazing swirls of light in the darkness. This routine should also be performed in an open area and the host should check to verify the necessity of permits.

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.

There are luau entertainers available to suit any size and type of party desired. With choices such as dancers, singers, musicians, and many others, there is a lot of versatility to be found in this area. Budget, location, guest demographic and local ordinances are all going to affect the number of viable options.
