Iaorana!

We want say MAURUURU ROA to all of our volunteers who dedicated countless hours until early morning hours, sponsors, ra'atira's, all of our solo and group competition and exhibition participants, food, arts and craft vendors and spectators for being a part of our 14th Annual Heiva I Maui Tahitian Dance and Drumming Competition! It is because of each and everyone one of you that we are able to make this happen. We are truly grateful!

To all of the ra'atiras and students for all your hard work and dedication in keeping the Tahitian culture alive and thriving! Your beautiful dances and sounds of Tahiti were heart stopping and amazingly beautiful! That left many hearts excited and wanting to shake their hips too!

The results of this year's competition has been posted for the solo and group competition. Please click on the RESULTS tab to view.

Score sheets for all competition participants will be mailed to you within the next 14 business days on the mailing address provided on your application. For soloists who entered along with their Pupu Ori, your score sheets will be mailed all to your ra'atira. Please consult with them for your results.

All vendors interested in joining us next year, we will be downloading the Vendor Application Packet within the next 14 business days as well. A handful of vendors have already inquired to confirm a spot for next year and how they may go about doing so. Therefore, once the 2012 application is available, please complete it and send it in with your payment and we will secure/confirm a spot for you next year. It is highly recommended that one do so at their earliest possible convenience due to Maui County stipulations. We are limited in space - so please send in your completed application and payment as soon as you can - as confirmation is provided on a first come first served basis.

Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for visiting us. We greatly appreciate your support of the intriguingly beautiful sounds and dances of Tahiti! Until then, we look forward to our 15th Annual in 2012!
