Polynesian Dance Maricopa started with two hula sisters wanting to share the aloha of Polynesia dance with those around them. As soon as the name Polynesian Dance Maricopa LLC was made official, they hit the ground running by kicking off their first dance class, Keiki Hula Summer 2022.

With the success of the summer dance class, PDM offered it's next dance season, Keiki Hula Fall 2022, with two classes and it's first hula class for women, Wahine Hula Fall 2022.

By the end of the Fall 2022 dance season, the two hula sisters saw the need to grow. Candace continued on with PDM while Janelle started Learn With Aloha LLC, both serving in the fast-growing city of Maricopa.

Candace kicked off the next PDM dance season, Spring 2023, with another 3 classes, including her first Samoan Fireknife beginners class. All 3 dance classes got to perform at the Copa Cultural Night that year. Since then:
Fall 2023 
- Girls' Polynesian Dance 
- Wahine Hula 
- Tahitian Conditioning
- PDM's 1st Hula Pop-up 
Spring 2024
- PDM's 1st Tahitian Dance Pop-up 
​- Tahitian Dance for children 
- Tahitian Dance for ladies
- PDM's 1st Maori Poi

and began offering "Hula Pop-up" sessions. PDM's Tahitian dance classes even made PDM's first debut at the 30TH ANNUAL ALOHA FESTIVAL. It was definitely a treasured experience that PDM had the pleasure of sharing with Ku'ulei Siva Production. Later in the Spring 2024 dance season, PDM also offered it's first Maori poi class who had the opportunity to share the long poi dance at the Copa Cultural Night--definitely a night to remember! 

Fall 2024 has come and gone with another 5 dance classes offered, including PDM's first preschool-aged hula class and PDM's first Women's Samoan Dance class.

All are welcome to join in the fun! Polynesian Dance Maricopa looks forward to sharing the aloha with you through Polynesian dance! 🧡
