When magnificent tropical sunset ignites the sky, Hawaii people light up Tiki lights and begin their nightlife.

There are many activities in the evening on this beautiful island. With spectacular tropical sunset and ocean views surrounding the whole island, there is always a place for everyone to enjoy the nightlife, including country dance, especially country line dancing.

Maui Paniolo Dance Association is a well-organized association which promotes and teaches country dance in Maui for more than ten years now. There are many excellent country dancers who continuously enjoy weekly dancing class and party. Every week, excellent instructors lead beginners, intermediate and advanced country dancers to engage in popular line dancing, including A letter 2 U, Come Dance with Me, Sweet Sweet Smile, Shake Down, Tush Push, T-Bone Shuffle, Fun Fun Fun, Little Bit of Nothin', Mi Gusto Mucho, Singapore River, and more.

Maui Paniolo Dance Association continuously promotes and teaches new country line dance every month.

With big dance floor and excellent music, many dance couples also practise Two Step, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Cha Cha, and Waltz.

Beginners or advanced dancers, residents or vacationers, guest teachers from other cities are all welcome to join weekly dance activity organized by Maui Paniolo Dance Association.

In fact, a group of country dancers far from Japan have visited Maui Paniolo Dance Association and participated in dancing activities. After returned to Japan, these Japanese tourists published a book to introduce their exciting Hawaii journey.
