Introducing the final cast member and second STUDENT performer in our upcoming show PRISM: A Chromatic Cabaret, Leilani!

Leilani has been dancing on the pole for about three years, starting her journey at The Pod Kona in 2023 through choreography and drop-in classes. She later moved into the progressive series (tricks based) in 2024.

She loves linking movements together in creative and intriguing ways while exploring both static and spin. Leilani is drawn to eccentric, moody music and often lets emotion guide the way she moves.

In addition to pole, she enjoys creating with her hands, surfing, skating, and spending time with her children.
What color do you think she'll bring to the stage?

Introducing the next cast member and first STUDENT performer in our upcoming show PRISM: A Chromatic Cabaret, Riley!

Since childhood, Riley has always been a creative soul at heart. She started as an artist with painting and drawing before branching out into the performing arts, taking on acting in live theatre, and becoming a musician.

Riley is actually pretty reserved, which is why it came as a surprise to many, including herself, that she took to pole so quickly. Thanks to the insistence of her mother, she has been taking lessons at The Pod since September 2024, and has been charging forward ever since. Dancing on the pole has become another creative outlet for her, one that allows her to push herself further not just physically, but also mentally. It’s a new form of expression for her, one filled with high risk and high reward.

Despite an injury that left her unable to pole for a month, Riley is back and stronger than ever. She is so excited to share her performance with you, and is extremely honored to be a part of this colorful show.

Introducing the next cast member and guest performer in our upcoming show PRISM: A Chromatic Cabaret, Annie!

Also hailing from Hilo, Annie joins us from studio. Free flow is at the core of her practice and all of her performances. She spends a lot of time in the forest, as her movements are inspired by the beyond human world. Annie also worked as a stripper overseas and believes that dance (art) is political. This will be her first time performing with The Pod, and she’s so excited to share her color with you!

Vicky has been bringing bendy brilliance to The Pod since August 2025, both as an instructor and performer. With 17 years of aerial acrobatics under her belt, she teaches everything from flexibility and tricks to base work—sharing nearly two decades of movement magic with every class.

Introducing our next cast member and producer of the upcoming show PRISM: A Chromatic Cabaret, Maive!

Having a flair for the dramatic, Maive is beyond excited to present you with this amalgamation of individual colors turned rainbow, showing how each unique personality (color) contributes to the whole -- unifying for a singular purpose of beauty and connection.

Maive has been a performer since an early age, just ask her family about the infamous “watch me” days. She grew up dancing and singing, adding live theater (acting and directing) to her repertoire in high school and beyond. Being on stage is her happy place, as it is one of the few places that forces a person to live in the present moment.

Maive discovered pole fitness in January of 2023 and took ownership of what is now The Pod Kona in July of 2024. Learning to combine her love of dance with feats of strength and acrobatics was like a dream come true, while continuing to create a safe space for students to explore and express themselves without fear or judgment is certainly the icing on the cake.

Maive is also a licensed massage therapist, yoga instructor, and retreat curator. As an avid traveler, she combines these skills by offering international adventure and wellness retreats through her company Three Peas Adventures. She hopes you enjoy the show, and would love to see your bright and shining faces in an upcoming series at The Pod!
