About

OUR MISSION

VA‘A was created to strengthen and uplift the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of individuals — fostering resilience and a higher quality of life.

We do this through Polynesian cultural education and hands-on experiences, all within a supportive, inclusive, and enjoyable learning environment.

Dancing

At VAʻA Beyond, we also teach dances from across the Pacific—Samoa, Aotearoa, Tahiti, and more. These sessions are open to all levels, and offer a hands-on way to engage with Polynesian culture.

Performances

VAʻA Beyond also performs to share what we’ve learned and to celebrate culture with others. Whether it’s a school event, wedding, or community gathering, we’d love to be part of your occasion. Feel free to reach out!
