The "Malia in Hawaii" format is an enjoyable and innovative way to fuse all styles of belly dance into one. creating a one of a kind style of belly dance. Malia's primary goal as an instructor is for you to enjoy your class experience. While in her class, she is welcoming, supportive and nurturing as you learn about your body and how it moves within the different body planes and beyond.

At the beginning of every class, Malia will begin with an entire body warm up using yoga inspired stretches. After the warm-up, she will direct the class in drills of belly dance moves (isolations of different body areas. i.e. the belly) to perfect technique.
