YOUR TEACHER
Join Cuban dance maestro Vivio at Tahaki Reserve, where his energy, skill, and love for Cuban rhythm bring our community together. A professionally trained dancer with 23 years of experience teaching and performing in Aotearoa alone, Vivioโ€™s classes are full of joy, connection, and that vibrant Cuban groove โ€” all in the beautiful outdoors.
OUR CONNECTION TO MAUNGAWHAU
Tahaki Reserve has been a special gathering place for our community for many years. With deep gratitude, we acknowledge Maungawhau and the mana whenua of Tฤmaki Makaurau, and weโ€™re honoured to have permission to continue sharing our love of Cuban dance here. We hold great respect for this maunga, for the culture it represents, and for the dedication of those who teach and learn with care.
We are grateful to everyone who joins us and shares that same respect and appreciation for this beautiful place.
