I'm sure you get a fresh crop of newbies popping up like dandelions every now and then looking for good instruction in their area. I'm afraid I'm another one of those. I live in the Chicago area. I've noticed at least 5 different schools and programs offering Hula, Hawaiian and Tahitian dance. I want to see if there is anyone in this group can recommend a teacher or program very active in the hula dance scene, very knowlegeable and respectful of Polynesian culture offering lessons in my area. I am most interested in the dances of Tahiti.

Thanks so much,
Ayido
