Try us out with our monthly farereiraa community class!

Group of five people dancing outdoors at an event or festival, with a stage and tents in the background.

“Farereiraa” means “gathering” or “meeting” and we’ve named this class as such to have a chance for new and old students to gather and dance together. This is also a chance to introduce potential new students to our wonderful community of Tahitian dancers in LA.

Our Farereiraa Community Classes are normally held on the first Saturday of the month, 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. in Mid City Arts Center (1644 S La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90035).

Classes are $20 pre-pay, $25 at the door, FREE for actively enrolled Te Aho Nui students.
