From the show on June 18th - Winchester
Malia,
Steve and I want to thank you, we realize we live far from your home and we appreciate your driving to Winchester.
We have an enormous amount of positive feedback from your performance. You are very professional and a very lovely and graceful dancer. I don't know if Chef Dan will offer to help host another Luau next year. If he does, I will certainly be contacting you again. I also be glad to pass your name and company's name to any one hosting a similar event around our area.
Again, many thanks. You truly made our fundraiser special.

Hi there, I've actually been meaning to write to you to thank-you! The girls had a great time! I think they really enjoyed the show and getting
the opportunity to do some dancing as well.
Obviously you've done this before because your format was perfect and the costume changes and the information you provided was just enough to
captivate them. The adults were also entertained! We had a great time! I even heard some of the girls say it was the best party ever! LOL.
In any event, I will hang on to your contact information - we may have future opportunities to utilize your services again.
Thanks again- take care.

Aloha Malia,
We had a blast! You guys were amazing and I was excited to learn about the different cultures as well. I have heard great feedback from everyone who attended. One of the residence owners actually said the Luau Saturday was better than any Luau she had been to in Hawaii.
Thank you all so much! And many kudos to Kelly for all of her hard work as well. Great job to all!

I wanted to follow-up with you about our 4th of July entertainment by Tepua Hio Hio - it was FANTASTIC. The ladies and Mika were just great and everyone at the party enjoyed the entertainment and have emailed both Joe and I about how great your dancers are and how festive their outfits looked!
Thank you again for a wonderful package of entertainment to add to the festivities of our 4th of July Party in 2012. Looking forward to next year!!! Please use our Email on your website as a testimonial if you choose. The Tepua Hio Hio dancers are #1!!!

YOU ALL WERE AMAZING YESTERDAY. What a treat for the participants! Everyone mentioned how wonderful you were specifically, and it was great that you got participants involved. I particularly loved the guy in his bike clips still on his shoes, dancing away with you!!!
The money that we would have spent on your entertainment slot now is able to go towards diabetes research, advocacy, and education programs. Please communicate this to your group as you have made a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
We can’t wait to work with you again next year and please let me know how your experience was.

Dear Malia,
Thank you for personally performing and teaching hula at our graduation party.
You were the "hit" of the evening and everyone is still talking about it!
We especially enjoyed having you educate us on Hawaiian traditions.
My son, Bret and his friends had a great time wearing the grass skirts and coconut bras too.
Thank you again for a superior job and for making the event so memorable.

Malia,
Yes, we had a wonderful time! The floor show was excellent.
I'd like to have the same people back next year. Actually, it was especially nice to have the male performer. He was very good at getting the residents to participate and had a great stage presence.
Naturally, next year's Luau will be another Friday night in August. Let me know if I need to book this far ahead. I'll be happy to check my calendar.
Thank you again for a wonderful show!

Dear Malia,
I spoke with the three people who came, but I wanted to tell you:
I cannot tell you how much our residents enjoyed the dancing. I received only positive reviews from the residents. We had the largest turn out that we have EVER had here for an activity. Thank you so much for your service.
Thank you!

Dear Malia,
I wanted to thank you for your wonderful performance on Tuesday, May 11th (2010) at Potomac Community Library. Many in the audience commented afterwards about how much they enjoyed the performance. They particulalry liked learning some Polynesian techniques, as well as learning something about the different types of Polynesian dance. I was pleased and surprised to see the varied ages of the willing volunteers who came forward to take part. The audience participation contributed to the success of the program.
I am sure you will have a wonderful turnout for your program here in July, and we are looking forward to that show. Please thank your daughter, Maria, as well for her wonderful performance. Our patrons enjoyed it very much.
Sincerely,
Tiffany S. Wiens

Malia,

Hi Maria,
Thank you for performing at our party. Everyone has a great time and it was a treat for them to see something like this here.
Do you teach hula on your day off. Let me know, I might be able to pass along for those who want to learn hula.
Thank you and have a great day.

Aloha Malia,
We can't say enough great things about you and Kathi! It was so much better than I had anticipated. The girls had fun with face painting, lei making, hula dancing, and doing the limbo. The adults were entertained with the performances and hula lesson. It's not often that adults have fun at kids' birthday parties. Mahalo for a wonderful time!

Aloha e All, A great big MAHALO NUI for coming and performing Friday evening at the ho'ike! Everyone said it was the best show ever - they say that about each show - but it was wonderful, even with the glitches! The fall ho'ike will be Friday evening, Nov. 20th, so you can block that date off on your calendars and think about what you would like to perform then!
Again, mahalo for all your hard work to help make the evening a success!!!
Love to all, Judy

Dear Tepua Hio Hio:
It is indeed my pleasure to tell you how thrilled we were with your performance of those lovely Hawaiian and Tahitian dances given at the 85th birthday celebration by Tepua Hio Hio for Florence Pulwers and our twentieth wedding anniversary on 18th April 2009 at the International Country Club of Fairfax. The surprise birthday party for Florence was absolutely splendid and your beautiful and marvelous dances made it even more wonderful. All sixty people who attended the party said how pleased they were with your music, dance and those helpful explanations of the meaning of each dance. It was quite spectacular to see you work out each step and dance with preciseness and at the same time wear a new colorful costume for each dance. Of particular interest were the historical explanations of your repertoire by your leader. We learned a great deal from listening and watching your every movement. The gracefullness of your hand motions was amazingly brilliant. Tepua Hio Hio made a terrific show and we loved every minute of it. Keep up the good work!
In an artful tribute to you, I remain, sincerely yours Dr. Jack E. Pulwers
