Aloha Wind is a Polynesian dance group based in the greater central Iowa. Aloha Wind has a strong presence in Des Moines, Ames, and surrounding communities.
We perform a variety of dances from Hawaii and Tahiti. Aloha Wind's goals are to educate, as well as to entertain, our audiences about the beauty, power, and diversity of the dances of the South Pacific.
Aloha Wind is available for parties, luaus, receptions, banquets, and anniversaries, and provides tasteful entertainment for all ages.

New to Aloha Wind are our Hawaiian Disney Characters. Great for any event or birthday party. Our characters are Kanaka Maoli (ethnically Hawaiian) and know about Hawaiian culture. If you are worried about cultural appropriation worry no more as all of our themed characters are Hawaiian and do a great job of educating!

"Aloha Wind brought pure island magic to our daughter Kameha's birthday celebration! Even though they were out of town for our event, they were so awesome to work with and went completely above and beyond to put something truly special together for us. The handcrafted ribbon lei was stunning, and the surprise birthday gift was incredibly generous. But the absolute highlight was the video - Kameha was over the moon to get a personal message from Moana, and she literally hasn't stopped watching it since the first time she saw it! If you want a team that brings genuine care, creativity, and true aloha spirit, look no further. We can't thank you enough!"
