Luau Entertainers Enhance The Show

By Myrtle Cash


If looking for a great party theme, consider going with a Polynesian theme filled with music, dancing and colors. Everyone enjoys a lively gathering and this is an idea that is great whether simply done or executed as an elaborate affair. Choosing the right type of luau entertainers can go a long way towards creating an event that will be appreciated and remembered.

From beginning to end, a luau is filled with activity. This theme may be taken to its fullest meaning by going all out traditional, sticking to the tiniest of details, or easily adapted for a backyard gathering or even a child's party. The entertainment, decorations and food all go a long way towards setting the mood and tone of the event.

Certain foods such as teriyaki, pork and tropical fruits, decorations along the lines of palm trees and bamboo, and island music do a lot towards creating the perfect Polynesian ambiance. Greeting guests in true Hawaiian fashion by adorning each with a lei made from colorful flowers in order to say a proper welcome is a great first impression. The right entertainment can do wonders for bringing the whole affair to a new level.

When most people think of a luau, the first thing that comes to mind is the Hula girl. These beautiful ladies can gracefully perform the many enchanting dances of the Pacific Islands of Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti and even New Zealand. Whether watching a single entertainer or a large group of them, the audience is sure to have their attention captivated.

A small budget or intimate gathering may be best served by hiring just a single dancer who can use recorded music to perform her various acts. If one is able to go with a group as large as four, the guests can be treated to costume changes as well as an impression of how beautifully synchronized the dances are. For the full on authentic experience, employing a full troupe will provide about ten entertainers with a wide variety of offerings as well as live musicians.

Another always popular option is to add fire-knife and warrior dancers to the line up. These well muscled men sport traditional costumes and tribal tattoos to add an air of authenticity to the performance. The thrilling sight of twirling knives lit on fire has always been, and is sure to continue to be, a truly exciting crowd pleaser.

The entertainers who perform the flaming poi pot dance of the Maori of New Zealand are also sure to get many favorable responses from the crowd. The balls that are attached to strings and set on fire are twirled in varied designs, leaving light trails behind them that are truly beautiful to behold. This act is so thrilling that it is often used as the final act of the evening so that everyone leaves with a great feeling.

When it comes to luau entertainers, a single dancer or a full range of performers are all well equipped to give guests an experience they will enjoy and remember fondly. Something to keep in mind is that these parties are best planned to start in the day and last into the dark evening hours so that each act is highlighted to its optimum. In some areas, fire acts may require one to obtain the proper permits.
