EXECUTIVE STEWARD

Tusi's journey began at age 7, dancing professionally with a Tahitian dance group as its youngest member, performing in the Polynesian Cultural Center's Keiki Show in Laie, Hawaii and at just 11 years old, she went on to dance with the original Polynesian Arts adult team in 1992- again as its youngest member- before later founding a sister group in Las Vegas, Nevada. Today, as Executive Steward of Polynesian Arts, Tusi oversees the business, teaches classes, and mentors the next generation of dancers, carrying forward a legacy that began before she was even a teenager.

LESA BROWN

STEWARD OF OPERATIONS

Lesa's history with Polynesian Arts began in 1992, dancing with the original keiki section. That early love for the culture carried into a competitive dance career, where Lesa went on to compete and win in numerous dance competitions. Alongside her family, Lesa also coached high school Polynesian clubs to two consecutive competition wins. As Steward of Operations & Instruction, Lesa manages event logistics and costume design, ensuring every performance looks and runs seamlessly, while teaching and mentoring the next generation of dancers who will carry the culture forward.

TEUILA ALOFIPO

DIGITAL STEWARD & ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR

Teuila's connection to Polynesian Arts began at age 2, watching her mother- a dancer with the original 1992 group- perform at events and competitions throughout the years. That early exposure grew into a deep love for Polynesian dance, especially siva Samoa, which blossomed further when she competed for Miss Samoa in 2024. Today, Teuila brings that same passion to the revival of Polynesian Arts as the Digital Steward & Assistant Instructor while also sharing the group's legacy online with a large and growing social media following.

SIONE BROWN

STEWARD OF MEDIA & PRODUCTION

Sione co-founded the Polynesian Arts' sister group in Las Vegas, a male instructor specializing in Samoa, Tonga, and Fiji. His creative talent first showed through choreography, music mixing and blending, and show design- a spark that grew into a broader creative gift for visual storytelling. Widely known today as the Hive360, Sione brings that same creative eye behind the camera as Steward of Media & Production, capturing the energy and authenticity of every Polynesian Arts performance for corporate clients and the community alike.
