Selecting Luau Entertainers For Parties

By Eugenia Dickerson


A fantastic theme could be just the thing to make a party amazing. Some options are truly creative and inventive but a Hawaiian inspired celebration is among the most popular and can be tailored to fit any size and age group. The key comes down to finding the right props, including luau entertainers that are going to appeal to the people who will be in attendance.

In many cases, the choice of location is going to limit the number of suitable performance options available. When held indoors, such as in a home, at a restaurant or in a hotel, depending on room size and ceiling height, there are some acts that can not be done within acceptable safety perimeters. Open spaces like backyards, beaches and parks are excellent party sites and open up a lot of opportunities.

One person can give a satisfactory performance but if wanting a true Polynesian dance experience, two to ten dancers, live musicians and perhaps an emcee will make it truly spectacular. Styles originating in several of the Pacific islands including New Zealand, Samoa, Tahiti and Hawaii are all included in a full routine. The more people in the troupe allow for more diversity as well as multiple costume changes.

Beautiful ladies performing the gently swaying Polynesian dances are always a big hit, but the warrior dancers can be just as crowd pleasing. Large, muscled and intense men wearing traditional island costumes and sporting tribal tattoos give a powerhouse performance full of dynamic energy. They reenact ceremonial style routines representing the quest for bravery, power, strength and honor in the face of battle.

If looking to make a seriously inspiring impression, hiring a fire-knife act for the party is a sure way to solicit many gasps and excited exclamations. The show moves at a very fast pace and the frenzied energy produced by flaming knives being twirled and tossed at high speeds is a great way to close the event and leave guests reveling. Nighttime is the best for performances of this type and, for safety sake, it should only be done in open air or high ceiling locations with all required fire permits in place.

If the fire-knife act is too much or one is looking for a great lead in, the fire poi performance is a perfect option. Based on the dances of the Maori from New Zealand, balls on the ends of long braided cords are set ablaze and twirled in circular motions at high speed, writing beautiful designs in the air. Every effort should be made to observe appropriate fire safety and obtain necessary permits for this kind of routine.

One thing that really engages the audience is to get them involved in the actual performance. Performers could invite someone to join them on stage to learn a dance, play a drum, blow a conch shell or even try to twirl unlit poi balls. This provides them with a more memorable experience that will stick in their minds long after the party ends.

There are luau entertainers available to suit any size and type of party desired. With choices such as dancers, singers, musicians, and many others, there is a lot of versatility to be found in this area. Budget, location, guest demographic and local ordinances are all going to affect the number of viable options.
