Waikapu Danceworks — Local services in Maui

I have taken an Intro to Burlesque workshop and a community aerial yoga class and they were both amazing in their own ways! The burlesque class was taught by Felicia, who was welcoming, inspiring and really made myself and the rest of the women feel comfortable to explore ourselves without judgement in each exercise and technique that she taught us. The aerial class was a community class to support easing the nervous system, as we had recently experienced the wildfires and the fact that they made this class accessible meant so much to me. The instructor made the class accessible for everyone, no matter their height or skill level. It was very gentle and soothing, and I loved working with the aerial hammock as our prop. Waikapu Danceworks has a beautiful studio, clean equipment, amazing instructors and from the two classes I went to, I could tell they have fostered an amazing community around movement and expression. Thank you for all that you do and can't wait to take...

My new obsession in the best way! While I’ve dabbled in pole for a while, I decided to really commit to going regularly once I moved to Maui as a way to push myself to grow, have a hobby that pulls me out of the house, and get to meet new people. Waikapu Danceworks has been the perfect fit! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, and Felicia gives great guidance that fits where you’re at in your pole journey.

I also unexpectedly fell in love with the ShaktiRize classes after trying them out! I don’t think I’ve ever been so sweaty and smiled so much at the same time in an exercise class. All the instructors I’ve had so far (Misty, Kyla, and Alex) are so sweet and fun, and it’s great to be in such a supportive and motivating space- especially during the ab workout portions!

I’m so happy I chose to treat myself to these experiences and I can’t wait to see how much I learn and grow...

I was initially referred to this place from a friend and attended the free community shakti rize class. I am hooked. I even bought the 5-day class pack to attend more shakti rize classes.

I love that this dance studio offers free classes to the community and is welcoming to all levels. It’s a clean, warm, safe space to be authentically and unapologetically you. It is a judgement free zone and full of good vibrations. At the end of the shakti rize class I felt connected and empowered with my divine feminine energy.

Alex was the instructor for the community shakti rize class and she exudes confidence with a friendly welcoming spirit. There is a great selection of classes to choose from and I look forward to meeting more instructors, connecting with fellow members, and attending...
