ATLANTA, Ga. (ATL Live) - An authentic Hawaiian luau experience is back in Georgia as Mahealani’s Polynesian Entertainment continues its summer partnership with Callaway Resort & Gardens. Owner Dawn Mahealani Douglas and performer Upega Upega talked with ATL Live about the traditions featured in the show and what guests can expect each Friday night.

Douglas trained in traditional Polynesian performance and previously worked with luau companies on Oahu before building her Atlanta-based company, which has spent the last decade training dancers and performing across the Southeast. Upega, a world champion fire-knife dancer from Samoa, has traveled from his home in California to perform with the group for the past three years.
