"Kinikia and the other two "wahines" were just spectacular. Not only are they incredible dancers, they are also great at
interacting with the crowd and getting them into it without being annoying or aggressive. They were a class act from start
to finish. It totally made our Luau for our Hawaiian-born son's Bar Mitzvah. Everyone just raved about them and asked
how I found them! I will tell everyone I can about how great they were and how easy it was to book them and work out
their show. Also, being able to book the wonderful ukulele player to start the show was a treat and just the right touch as
the guests were coming in to prepare them for the wonderful dancing! Mahalo for a wonderful experience!"

"I hired Kinikia for a birthday luau party and she was fantastic. She told us a little about each dance in advance and then
performed them beautifully. She also taught us a few dances which made it fun to participate and dance along with her. I
would definitely hire her again for a future party."--Theresa C. LUAU 5/14/2011

"I hired DC Hippodrome at the very last minute after I receiving a last minute cancellation from another dancer. I was
hosting a large, nighttime event featuring artists and variety entertainment.
Dc Hippodrome got back to me immediately and agreed to the gig which was taking place in an hour. They arrived on
time and were extremely professional, pleasant and flexible. This was a busy event with a lot of different things going on
and everything was taken in stride.

The dancing was phenomenal and the crowd definitely responded to it. The performance added something exciting and
fun to the event and I can't thank them enough.

I will use them again and highly recommend them if you need to add some pizazz to your event."

"Dear Kinikia:

Thank you for the wonderful Hawaiian Hula performance!!
I believe everyone had a GREAT Time!! I volunteer on Wednesdays at bingo and there may be one or two people who
are not too receptive in joining the group, except today! Boy, they were having a grand time participating with hand
clapping and enjoying your dances.<excerpt> <continued> I am so proud to say I'm a native of Hawaii. I appreciate your
talent and
skill with graceful swaying of arms and hips. So happy to share the beauty of Hawaii. Must admit I was a little homesick
too."

decided to do it again! Keep you posted" via facebook for LUAU

"This year, at our annual benefit gala, we invited DC Hippodrome to perform for our patrons and guests.

Being a festive, Carnival-styled event, DC Hippodrome's performance was wonderfully suited, enjoyable, and
entertaining! As guests entered the front doors of the gala, they were greeted by an amazing spectacle of fire poi (
fire-spinning). DC Hippodromes other dance performances were exciting and festively charged, filled with streamers,
amazing costumes, fierce energy and vitality!

Having DC Hippodrome perform at our event was the perfect accent to this very important and fun evening. If you are
looking for a performance that is unique, bright, energetic and entertaining, I suggest you look no further than the DC
Hippodrome!"

(4/7) "Do yourself a favor and look up YouTube footage on local artists representing the DC Hippodrome Variety Show,
they offer plenty of ''island dance forms'', including Tahitian, Polynesian, Hula and native Traditional Hawaiian dances,
and has been performing throughout the DC area (mainly the hotbed of Northern VA past I-66) for many years now. As
equally sexy as waiting bellydance, these ladies (get in contact with Kinikia, who also is a talented bellydancer) put a lot
of effort and energy into their shows, also offering male dancers as well as dances with fire. As many of you know, I've
said in the past few years it won't be long before a major movement of ''hula and island fusion'' with bellydance will make
its way across the landscape. For more on their shows and booking opportunities, go HERE (our site) for details. Their
next performance will be at TurCuisine in Herndon, VA on April 23rd...I think this site (and this area) can use a island
dance ''oasis'' page, 'ya think? :)~~" Thank you to Brandon's Oasis for these kind words

• I was very impressed with the performance. It was tasteful and the performer took the time to educate the audience on the origin of each dance performed. Also, the audience participation was a hit. Thank you. Michelle Usual -- Michelle U, College Park, MD, 6/19/2010
• With the help of a good music DJ and already beach like atmosphere at the restaurant, DC Hippodrome delivered! My wife said she loved the Hawaiian dancers. I threw her a surprise 40th Hawaiian themed birthday party. It would not have been a complete luau without those dancers. All my guests were impressed. They were professional, performed all the island dances very well, and exceeded my expectations. -- Dennis C, Chesapeake, VA, 8/1/2010
• DC Hippodrome was amazing & fantastic!! They truly set the atmosphere for our event and our guests were thoroughly entertained.
