Teacher

Noelani

Noelani Kawashima grew up in Hawaii, where hula and dance were always a part of her life. In 2022, she discovered Bachata at Studio M Ballroom and has since trained extensively with multiple coaches from around the world. Noelani started her training in a more modern/fusion bachata style, but she absolutely loves traditional bachata and is also active in the sensual bachata community. In the Bay Area, she’s been active in multiple performance, competition, and training teams, but her true passion lies on the social dance floor, and she brings that same joy and connection into her teaching.
