For over 30 years, Sunshine From Polynesia (SFP) has devoted itself to the teaching, performance and preservation of the truly unique and beautiful storytelling dance: the hula.
SFP was founded in 1978 as a performance company by Lita Hoke and her sister-in-law. In 1985 Lita added dance instruction out of her desire to teach her daughter, Stefanie, the art of hula. Neighborhood children became interested in learning and SFP evolved into a halau (dance school) where students of various generations come from all over the greater Seattle area.
