History:
The group originated in Waialua, Hawaii in 1986. Entertaining
for many occasions, the group participated in various
Christmas craft fairs, The Fourth of July celebrations,
and local church bazaars. The dancers were also known
as the World Pacific Dancers in the 1988 "Wave
of the Future" World Pacific Wrestling Show.
In
1989, Isitolo and Evelyn Oloa moved to Pittsburgh, PA
to become choreographers and cast members of "Hawaii
in Pittsburgh" located in Pittsburgh, PA. The show
brought in thousands of people from the eastern United
States as well as Canada, bringing memories of the Polynesian
islands to many. In 1996, the home base for "Hawaii
in Pittsburgh" was sold and the cast members continued
entertaining for river boat shows, dinner theatres and
private parties.
In
1998, Isitolo and Evelyn Oloa moved to Orlando, FL.
With a whole new group, they continued what they had
started in Hawaii--bringing the Beauty of Polynesiato
