Hiti Mahana translates to rising sun in Reo Tahiti (Tahitian language). As the sun brings light and life each morning, the phrase encourages us to seek mana and take the opportunity to start fresh, embracing each day with hope and gratitude.
Hiti Mahana, the official dance troupe, is a family-owned company. Under the direction of husband and wife, Gabriel Tualua and Jacinta Napuaonaonaokahala San Nicolas Maʻae, both Pacific Islanders from the islands of Sāmoa and Guam, the performers at HM have been professional entertainers performing in Hawaiʻi and all over the mainland, and have been ranked as one of the top Polynesian performers in Texas, including the official Polynesian performers for SeaWorld San Antonio. Now, in their fourth year as a Florida-based company, they have taken the East Coast by storm, even traveling across the world internationally to Costa Rica, Vietnam, and Tahiti, and have quickly become one of Florida’s elite preferred vendors!
