Meet our Staff At Tekurio Nui, we pride ourselves on having professional and highly qualified dance instructors.

Tuko Tuko teaches 'the drums.' Drums made from logs are used throughout Polynesia. After voice, drums are one of the earliest forms of communication known to man, and could even be the earliest musical instrument. Drums carry the village pulse for ceremonies, entertainment, and communications. Tuko has been playing the drums 'all his life.' Born and raised in Tahiti, Tuko has a long history of teaching, both here and in the South Pacific, and has instructed at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Dareen Born and raised in Hawaii, Dareen has been dancing since she was 5 years old and began dancing professionally at 17 years old. She has entertained in such places as Japan, Korea, the U.S. mainland and Hawaii. Keeping touch with her Hawaiian culture, Dareen specializes in the Hawaiian hula.
