Haopinaka Hawaiian Music & Dance Hula Dancer from Hayward, CA

HAOPINAKA brings the spirit of aloha to the San Francisco Bay Area with beautiful and talented hula dancers, Hawaiian guitars, ukuleles, and sweet vocal harmonies. HAOPINAKA's hula dancers come from several award-winning hula groups. Our dancers have won Hawaiian Hula and Tahitian Dance competitions in California, Nevada, Tahiti, China, Germany, Indonesia, Poland, and The Netherlands. HAOPINAKA was formed in 1998 when three friends from different backgrounds came together to share their love of Hawaiian music. The name “HAOPINAKA” is a combination of the words HAO-le (white guy), PI-noy (Filipino guy), and ka-NAKA (Hawaiian guy). And it is this unique friendship of cultures and styles that creates the sweet and lively sound of HAOPINAKA. HAOPINAKA is available to bring the sound, sights, and spirit of aloha to your next party, lu’au, wedding, or special event. We can perform as a solo ukulele player up to the full band, and with or without hula dancers.
