Wailana choreographs for Nicki Minaj’s Starships video

This particular image was shot at Halona Cove, but when I used to frequent this cove in High School, we called it Cockroach Cove. It is right before Sandy's Beach in O'ahu. Also, it is where the black and white classic film, "From here to Eternity" was shot.  You know the famous kissing-on-the-beach sequence with the lovers entwined and water washes beautifully around them, well, that's the beach.  The other place we shot was at Kualoa Ranch, north-east side of O'ahu – another gorgeous location. Working on the video was quite an experience; long days, Hollywood vibe, lotsa cool and beautiful people.  I choreographed everything except the incredible HAKA BOYS.  They had their own moves down – in fact, they stole the show.  I am blessed and honored.  I love Nicki Minaj and I was very thrilled to have been part of her booty – movement!  Keep doing what you do Nicki because we all love you for it!
