Fantastic experience! I booked the 3-class intro pack and did barre, bungee fitness, and aerial yoga. All 3 classes were fun and a great workout, with really knowledgeable and encouraging instructors. Bungee and aerial were both a blast!

Everyone I met, instructors and students alike, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I’ll for sure be back!

I love going to Waikapu Danceworks Shastirize class with Misty. I'm not one to go to the gym but was looking for a dance class and tried it out. It's nice to go and focus on just me. They also offer different class bundles that are reasonably priced. Thank you.

This studio is amazing and more importantly the community of people here are incredible. The dance class Shakti is basically therapy for your mind, body and soul. I couldn't recommend this dance studio more. Definitely one of my favorite places I've danced so far. If you want to get sweaty, release some tension and have some good laughs definitely try this place out.

My new obsession in the best way! While I’ve dabbled in pole for a while, I decided to really commit to going regularly once I moved to Maui as a way to push myself to grow, have a hobby that pulls me out of the house, and get to meet new people. Waikapu Danceworks has been the perfect fit! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, and Felicia gives great guidance that fits where you’re at in your pole journey.

I also unexpectedly fell in love with the ShaktiRize classes after trying them out! I don’t think I’ve ever been so sweaty and smiled so much at the same time in an exercise class. All the instructors I’ve had so far (Misty, Kyla, and Alex) are so sweet and fun, and it’s great to be in such a supportive and motivating space- especially during the ab workout portions!

I’m so happy I chose to treat myself to these experiences and I can’t wait to see how much I learn and grow here in 2024! :)

I have taken an Intro to Burlesque workshop and a community aerial yoga class and they were both amazing in their own ways!
The burlesque class was taught by Felicia, who was welcoming, inspiring and really made myself and the rest of the women feel comfortable to explore ourselves without judgement in each exercise and technique that she taught us.
The aerial class was a community class to support easing the nervous system, as we had recently experienced the wildfires and the fact that they made this class accessible meant so much to me. The instructor made the class accessible for everyone, no matter their height or skill level. It was very gentle and soothing, and I loved working with the aerial hammock as our prop.
Waikapu Danceworks has a beautiful studio, clean equipment, amazing instructors and from the two classes I went to, I could tell they have fostered an amazing community around movement and expression. Thank you for all that you do and can't wait to take more classes!

I have greatly enjoyed the material and culture that is provided at Waikapu Danceworks. 10/10 would recommend to a friend, or a stranger, maybe we could be friends.

I was initially referred to this place from a friend and attended the free community shakti rize class. I am hooked. I even bought the 5-day class pack to attend more shakti rize classes.

I love that this dance studio offers free classes to the community and is welcoming to all levels. It’s a clean, warm, safe space to be authentically and unapologetically you. It is a judgement free zone and full of good vibrations. At the end of the shakti rize class I felt connected and empowered with my divine feminine energy.

Alex was the instructor for the community shakti rize class and she exudes confidence with a friendly welcoming spirit. There is a great selection of classes to choose from and I look forward to meeting more instructors, connecting with fellow members, and attending different classes.

The place i call my " safe space". A place where you are accepted, inspired and most of all confident in youself as a woman. This place takes away every worry and keeps me focused on myself. The was definitely the number one factor in bringing me back every week. From taking pole classes, aerial lyra, chair, you name it! The energy is very positive and everyone is so so so supportive. It's a no judgement zone for sure! I'm addicted!

I’ve taken a wide variety of classes and workshops at Waikapu Danceworks, and they are consistently fabulous. I personally love the Pole Series classes, and though I had no prior experience, the Waikapu Ohana was warm and welcoming while teaching me so much! I can do things now I never thought I would! The workshops and teasers are also a fun way to try something new with little commitment. If you’re looking for a good butt-kicking though, don’t sleep on those Barre classes! They are INTENSE. I love Waikapū, I’ve taken classes at other studios and this one is by far my fave!

Classes are so much fun and you get a great workout at the same time! It was my first time taking a pole class so I was a little nervous, but they break it down so that anyone can follow along. I was worried about taking a class without knowing anyone else but everyone was so nice and welcoming. They are always adding new classes to their schedule so a nice variety of options too!

When I first heard about my friends doing pole dancing, I thought, "Iʻm too old for that!" Then, my 76-year old mentor told me about how great it was for building upper body strength and I decided to give it a try. Waikapu Danceworks is a great environment for working out and trying new movement styles in an emotionally safe and supportive environment. I came for pole dancing and found so much more, including classes that work for my 12 year old daughter. Itʻs a great community of people of all ages and bodies building each other up on our journeys to stronger bodies and loving ourselves!

I took my first Barre class, 6 months pregnant, at Waikapu Danceworks and had a wonderful time! The class was full of supportive clients and the instructor gave me modifications for my bump. After the class, I stuck around and got to learn more about the studio, their teachers, their upcoming performance, and I even bought some cute press on nail polish designs from one of the members. I look forward to dancing there again, and hope to teach there someday too!

Love love... LOVE this place!
So my different class options, all people are welcome. You go in curious about a class and usually after taking a series you come out with friends and a full body work out😋

These ladies always keep it fun and body positive.

I am obsessed with this place! I have taken their aerial yoga, intro to aerial silks, and intro to pole classes. They also have bungee, twerk, and a ton of other fun classes. If you’re anywhere near the area, you should definitely check it out. It’s super close to Wailuku. Love it so much that I actually sign up as a member. It’s so great.

I have been going to Waikapu Danceworks for over a year now and I love every class I have taken. Felicia is a patient, knowledgeable, and fun teacher. Her stretch and warm-ups are the best! Celeste is so sweet and her aerial classes are great. Lily is a pro at teaching barre and makes even the hard moves so fun! I recommend this studio to anyone who wants to try dance and fitness group classes. A clean and beautiful space with awesome teachers.

I took a barre class elsewhere for the first time this year and wanted to walk out. I was disappointed in myself and wanted to try again and stumbled upon this studio. Although I was hesitant I’m so glad I took the first step. The instructor, Lily is just AMAZING. Her instructions are clear and encouraging. She provides the steps required for each set and an option to challenge yourself. Barre is an addiction. Small movements that kick and lift your bum. The studio is clean, comfortable and cool. There’s parking right up front. Other classes are offered but for now barre is my favorite ❤️
