Culture Shock Dance Troupe This is a hard review to write. The actual performance was very good, but I don't think it is worth the money to book them. They were very hard to reach when I was booking them and then confirming, and then the performance was only 30 minutes. We had discussed an hour performance, but I didn't get it in writing. I suggest that if you do book them, request a length of performance to be written into the contract/invoice. They are also very expensive. They normally charge $500, but I did get a discount to $350 because I arranged a multiple library booking. $350 for 30 minutes is a little more than I want to spend.

So in April of this year I asked about their availability for SRP at City Heights for July. They responded with a series of waffling emails about their availability for the date I requested. Finally in early June they said yes, they're available for that date. I asked for an invoice and confirmation so that I could go ahead with the promotional stuff. I never got a response. I assumed they changed their mind and scratched them off from our schedule. Flash forward to the July date I had requested -- they show up at the Performance Annex but staff rightfully inform them that they are not scheduled to perform. They leave. What the fudge? - Erwin

Pualani's Dance Studio. http://www.halauopualani.com. Fun and interactive Hawaiian dance performance. The studio uses the money they make to purchase performance costumes, so they really are non profit. The price is affordable (around $75) and it is fun for the whole family. (Kirby @ Central)
