Pacific Islander Celebration Night with the Portland Winterhawks 2026! Māuruuru roa to the staff and coordinators for having us apart of the evening’s festivities!

Such good fun and energy dancing with the various classes of our feti’i. Mahalo to all our family and friends that came out to support and get rowdy with us as we cheer on the Hawks for such a tight game🏒.

Teva Oriata proudly presents Te Moana Nui A Hiva, an immersive showcase celebrating the vastness, beauty, and spirit of the ocean.

Dive into a world where the deep blue is alive with stories— Polynesian legends of gods and guardians, the wondrous creatures that dwell beneath the waves, and the timeless relationship between our people and Te Moana, the sea that sustains us.

Through powerful choreography, music, and storytelling rooted in culture, Te Moana Nui A Hiva carries audiences across the shoreline and into the sacred depths. Each piece reflects the ocean’s many faces—its creation, its mysteries, its strength, and its role as a giver of life.

But this journey is not only a celebration; it is a call to action. As the ocean faces unprecedented threats, we honor our ancestral responsibility to protect and preserve it. This showcase serves as a reminder that the choices we make today will shape the world inherited by generations to come.

Join us as we honor the stories of our ancestors, the life within the water, and the enduring bond between Polynesia and the great ocean that surrounds us. May we continue to listen, to learn, and to care for the ocean that has always cared for us.

8 years at our Cedar Hills studio location😮‍💨🥹. This place was hard for Kai to say goodbye to, because it was all he’s ever known as his “home”. Our family has moved 4, maybe 5 times, but this place stayed constant throughout his childhood. As our boys have grown, so has our Teva Oriata feti’i, and we have definitely outgrown these dance floors. Although it will be sad to see this place demolished (new development everywhere nowadays), I’m soo excited to be in our new and bigger fare ‘orira’a!

I turned in the keys today, so if you have any pictures of you dancing at this location, please share a story and tag us! Rest in love Cedar Hills Shopping Center.

Announcing our last community workshop of the season: Siva Sāmoa!!! Cheeeehu! 🇦🇸🇼🇸

Anna has been apart of our Teva aiga for years now, and originally comes from AUA of American Sāmoa. She is proud to share her culture to those in the community thru dance via Teva Oriata and her own group . This one will be open to the public so sign up now because many have been asking about us holding a siva workshop. Tell your friends and join us Sept 6!

So much fun, community, and love at the Oregon Zoo for their last Friday of summer !! Mahalo so much for having us apart of it!!

This will be the last 2025 summer show for Teva Oriata too and wow what a way to end it! Once the zoo heard the music blasting as we always do😆 the whole human stampede came to watch. I’m so proud of all my dancers and thankful for all the helping hands we’ve had this summer. I didn’t get to post all the shows yet, but we def had too many photos to share on ten slides😅

Results are in😳🤩🥳!

🥰🙌🏼🙏🏼I am beyond grateful for our loving and supportive community(Beaverton and beyond) for voting us in the top 2025! We also ranked in many categories in 2024, but I didn’t have a chance to post/acknowledge/thank. 😔

Glory to god first, He definitely has a plan for Jack and I😅 and we’ll roll with what’s coming next for our ‘ohana! Secondly, we honestly wouldn’t be where we are today without all of our wonderful dancers and families that show nothing but aloha for Teva Oriata. Mahalo nui loa to our community for voting us #1 in so many categories!

💍PLATINUM baby💍

Māuruuru roa, merci, bizous!! We are truly grateful for Hiro’s constant support, the way he enriches our passion for ‘ori, and his heartfelt sharing of culture with our NW community.🥰

There’s just something so glowy about after workshop pictures that makes the smiles so much more magical. 😅☺️🤩 What a weekend of community, fun, and sweat!
