ORIGIN OF FALE POLYNESIA - OC
Fale Polynesia co-founder Kanani Asuega is sprung from a long line of culture-keepers. Lokelani's Polynesian Revue is a Polynesian dance ensemble that her grandmother, Florence Lokelani Ka'ahanui Broderick (also known as "Loke"), founded and handed on to her daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and Roy Asuega. With performances in Japan, Western Samoa, and the United States, Lokelani's has been one of Orange County, California's leading dance studios for 35 years. Uncle Roy is renowned for his flawless voice, and Aunty Kathy is an award-winning costume designer. Kanani and 'Ofaloto Kumā took over the studio after the pair decided to retire in 2024. Following retirement, Aunty Kathy's costumes continues to grace many stages and dancers, and Uncle Roy remains part of the band, and is best known as our community's leading emcee.
