    Vanessa Barrera, Argentina

  • “Karyne is my absolute favorite choreographer, dancer and teacher! Her artistry is a unique blend of smooth fluid polynesian with groovy funky elements woven together with soul & intention that leaves you inspired, uplifted and changed! Her authenticity and brilliance flow so beautifully through her work. She is a blessing to be with!”

    Faith Rivera, Emmy Winning Singer/Songwriter, Oahu

  • “Taking hula and Tahitian dance lessons with Karyne is SO much fun! I swing and sway my hips, tell stories with my hands and body, and feel the “aloha” moving trough me. It has changed the way I walk, and makes me feel like a more sensual woman. I highly recommend her sacred dance for anyone looking to tap into their divinely feminine nature.”

    Catherine, Los Angeles

  • "Simply glorious! I am 49 years old and took two months of private classes as a gift to self - not only did I enjoy myself tremendously, I also experienced many benefits to my body and mind (more toned body muscles, glowing skin, improved joint mobility and an overall more centered, calmer mindset). Kumu Karyne is a brilliant and inspiring Hula teacher, who embodies the dance with natural grace and ease, and is particularly gifted in how to impart her knowledge in a way that will resonate best with her students. She was patient and intuited the right pace and music for our lessons, creating a sacred experience in every class that left me feeling lighter and happy for the rest of the day. I absolutely loved the songs she picked for me and the choreographies she created! Last but not least, I very much appreciated that the class program shared many interesting insights about Hula not just as a dance, but also as a way of life, which is exactly what I had been searching for. Highly recommend!"

  • “I had my first hula class with Karyne when I visited Maui, and I was hooked! I went back to Italy with my Treasured Memories of Hawaii, but I could not let go of the hula. When I learned that Karyne gives online lessons, I contacted her immediately! Through the World Wide Web I dance with Karyne once a month in my living room. For me, hula is relaxation, meditation, connection with your surroundings and nature. Hula is Magic, and I feel in love and in peace when I’m doing it. Karyne has a wonderful way that she teaches, inspires, and motivates. She shares with you the love of hula, and in this way the aloha too.”

    Astrid Schoenweger, Italy

  • "We had the most amazing family hula lesson~ it was unforgettable! Thank you so much for infusing us with the Aloha vibrations :)"

    Alexandra Gulesserian

  • “I am so grateful for Karyne and the sacred dance we share in our one-on-one private dance classes. What I love the most is my own bodies reaction to her customizable signature dance formulas for movement. If you live on the island Maui or if you are one of the islands welcomed guest, I would highly recommend her dance instruction meet ups. And I think she also has an option on Zoom. Incorporating more dance into my life experience is my new years resolution therefore I vote yes for my Sacred Dance Path. I dare every woman to try it at least once. Aloha!"

    Aviella Aloha

  • "I am loving the song and dance that we did right after the Moon Dance last week and would like to keep doing it since it is speaking to my soul. Would you please give me the name of the music and is it available? I’ve been having some very interesting body experiences in my sleep and synchronicities with other things that I do so I know that this sacred dance is profoundly affecting my life.Looking forward to our next class tomorrow morning."

    Wendy Anne (Online Student)

  • "Last week I hosted a women's retreat on Maui and was looking for someone from the island to come teach our group about Hulu and the spirit of Aloha. Karyne came to guest teach for two workshops and it was absolutely a highlight of our retreat to learn sacred Hawaiian dance from Karyne. She is knowledgeable, kind, and wise and was able to lead our group through a sacred dance experience. Many of the group members shared about the emotional and spiritual experience that they had during the dance practice and all expressed how much more connected to their bodies they felt. Karyne is an absolute gift!"

    Hana Raftery, Somantic Life Coach

  • "Highlight of our trip. The class was wonderful! Not only did we learn so much so quickly, but Karyne was kind, supportive, and made us feel so comfortable. She cares so much about the sacredness of the dance and treats it with such love and respect. It felt incredibly authentic. If we lived here, we’d be taking her classes all the time."

    Rachael Weidman

  • “Karyne, every morning since meeting you at Camp Grace, before opening my eyes, I’ve been filled with a visionary tenderness from your choreography. Your dances are like sacred hieroglyphs; they have the power to unlock places in the body that hold great power and beauty. What a privilege it was to get to dance with you!”

    Ariana, New York

  • “Karyne led my 8 guests from the mainland in a fantastic opening ritual for our Maui retreat at the Sacred Garden. Her fun style and magical movement set the perfect tone for the event.”

    Betsy Wiersma, Wiersma Experiences & Art On Purpose

  • “Everyone who participated in The Virtual Healing Experience was wowed by your talent and by the peaceful way you help females release daily stress and anxiety to rhythmic dance. They want more!“

    Dr. Patience Hemenway - Bestselling author, ‘Breathe With Me A Guide to Finding Peace in the Storms of Life’

  • “I wanted to learn hula as part of a healing process after cancer surgery, especially after I found out a group on Oahu was studying how hula helps in recovery after ovarian cancer. (only available on Oahu). I am so grateful to have found Kumu Karyne! In the little more than a year since I started private weekly hula lessons, I have gained strength and grace and so much more. I continue to learn and experience the healing power of this beautiful art form. As I have become more skilled at the dance steps and graceful movements, Karyne has encouraged and helped me unlock my own creativity and expression, something that I was not expecting at all. With Karyne's guidance, I have come to see and embrace hula as a gentle but powerful physical meditation. And it's fun too!”

    Barbara, Weekly private student

  • “Kumu Karyne has impacted my life significantly since moving to HI. Kumu is not just my hula teacher, but a role model and mentor. She has helped me reignite the connection I have between my ancestors and my culture, and has helped my strong relationship with dance transform from a “love hate relationship” to an ALL love relationship…and for that I am forever grateful.”

    Cherrise, Weekly private student

  • “Dancing with Karyne is a true joy. As a teacher and guide, Karyne provides a warm welcoming space that makes hula accessible to all. She lovingly challenges us to learn and grow in a way that opens the heart and nurtures the soul.”

    Sandra Razieli, Maui

  • "Thank you for the gift of this class, and for sharing your beautiful Self with us through this sacred dance. Something deep started to release today ... I cried through the Moon Dance. Today, I got to do the recorded class, and the heart opening was stunning! Tears of release, of surrender to the sheer power and beauty of Hula as a Sacred Act flowed and flowed."

    Penny (Online Student)

  • “I was recovering from a traumatic car accident and was in physiotherapy…but the best therapy I got was dancing hula once a week with Karyne. Karyne is very talented, patient, and friendly. The music and dance moves she taught me most definitely opened my heart and assisted in my recovery!”

    Maggie Rayne, Maui

  • “It’s like you sparkel in meeting your own cells, feel your own bloodsteam, your own muscles touch what has never been touched…. and BANG: all flows… you and the sky are in dialogue, the sea says something too, and you watch your hips in this dialogue and smile: this is me.“

    Ola, Italy

  • “Thank you for sharing your deep love of hula with me. It has been such a gift to learn from you. I feel so much more connected to the beauty and magic of Hawaiian culture and am beginning to understand the multiple layers that make up the essence of hula. It’s been such a joy to stand in my queendom as well!“

    Gabriella

  • “I am stunned by your sacred embodiment of this form and by the reverence you have for helping us women connect --reconnect --with our inner core royalty. You give so so much--such a terrific teacher and healer. I almost feel like you speak directly to me calling me back to Self and to love and hope. Every part of the class--emails with all the info, the poem, etc etc. was amazing, And the dances were soooooo perfect.“

    Sarah

  • “Karyne is an absolute goddess of movement. She will help you re-awaken your soul through your hips, and you’ll never be the same after working with her. I’ve worked with her 1 on 1 and in a group setting, and both experiences were perfect. I felt seen and attended to, and never felt like I was falling behind. Her emotional and spiritual connection to dance is palpable, and she transfers that magic to you when you take her class. Prepare yourself for tears (in a good way!) I could not recommend her more. Take her class ASAP!”
