Love that I can do my fa'arapu training on my own time. It's hard to make in-person classes so this is great!

Dylan is amazing! I've been dancing for years and never realized I was using my body wrong. I'm so glad I can dance in a healthy way now...
Sandy, San Diego, CA

I'm new to Tahitian dance at 28. I learn with a group but this has helped me catch up my dance skills while getting abs!
Caitie, Denver, CO
Dylan sait adapter les exos en fonction du niveau de l'élève. J'avais peur de ne pas y arriver mais Dylan propose des modifications pour les débutants

Need to see it to believe it?

I love that I get compliments about how good I can perform my Fa’arapu now! I especially LOVE how much fun we have in his classes and how much he cares about his students’ progress. Thank You, Dylan! You da best!

He corrected me on my form as well as taught me how to move. He’s always uplifting and such a fun personality! He brings laughter and joy to EVERY zoom live session so you never feel down when he’s correcting on form or movement.
Isa L.
The stretches that he incorporates into the class is so helpful, especially for those finding dance later in life. Dylan has such a bright energy and positive spirit, and is such an inspiration! He dances so beautifully, and makes you feel strong and beautiful as well!
Nikki Y.
Mi experiencia en las clases ha sido maravillosa, la energía del grupo, es muy buena, muy bacán cómo se dice en Chile. Siempre hay algo nuevo para aprender... Con las clases de fa'arapu obtuve un puntaje alto en la ultima competencia a la que fuí.
Merahi M.
His encouraging & unique teaching style inspires me to be a stronger dancer, performer & teacher. My fa’arapu stamina has improved since I’ve started with the crew. Taking Dylan’s class has been a fun & effective way to not only lift my hips, but my mood too!
Lisa R.
His teaching makes you feel welcome and motivated without feeling pressured to be perfect —but always strive for your best. Mindfulness in movement is essential and Dylan does an excellent job not only in helping you improve and sustain your art form but also giving you a sense of community and healing along the way.

About ’Ori Fit x Dylan

Māhū, 'Ori Tahiti Dancer, Dance & Culture Educator

Dylan, a Native Hawaiian and French-Polynesian from Hilo, Hawai’i, has forged a powerful path in dance and fitness, shaped by a background in competitive gymnastics, cheerleading, and acrobatics. Now a skilled Dancer, Choreographer, and Fitness Instructor, Dylan blends Polynesian traditions with modern movement, reaching a global audience through fluency in French and English. As the Founder of ‘ORI FIT X DYLAN, Dylan offers a unique training platform that merges Strength, Conditioning, and Polynesian Dance. With in-person classes in South Orange County and a self-paced app, Dylan empowers individuals to build physical and mental strength while honoring cultural roots. The Kekipi School for 'Ori & Culture, launching online in Summer 2024, will provide a deep dive into ‘Ori Tahiti, with a brick-and-mortar location soon opening on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Dylan’s work is driven by resilience and authenticity, having overcome addiction and embraced the māhū identity, reflecting a balance of male and female energies in Hawaiian and Tahitian culture. Specializing in ‘Ori Tahiti for vahine (women), Dylan integrates teachings from mentors like Tahia Cambet, Leolani Gallardo, and Tehani Robinson, combining tradition with innovation. Joining Dylan is an invitation to harness your strength, explore cultural roots, and engage in a transformative practice that extends beyond dance. Whether online or in-person, Dylan’s approach offers a space for growth, self-discovery, and a deeper connection to Polynesian traditions.
