Konawaena High School Polynesian Club

Welcome to Poly Club,
​
Polynesian Club or Poly club for short is all about
learning about the major Polynesian islands’ culture and their dances, build a club of Polynesian performers.

One goal is to have all of our talented Polynesian dancers come together and teach and choreograph dances. For example, 
we'd like to see all our fireknife dancers on campus  come together to share and teach the art of siva afi fireknife dance.

Then we hope to perform at May Day or at an end of year showcase.
Another goal is to provide a network with various professional community members. There are a lot of hotel luaus actively seeking dancers and we hope to be a feeder to their luaus and one day get a secure job dancing Polynesian . So not only can you get a chance for a secure job, you can make friends with polys and learn about their culture too. 


We meet every  Friday at lunch in O-107
