As they say in Hawai'i -- Hana Hou! :)

One more storm on its way. Tengan Castle show has been postponed till another date can be scheduled, and hopefully this storm will be out of Okinawa by Sunday morning.

Speaking of which, our makeup for the last storm (Sep 16) will still be on for this Sunday at the following times:

Sunday, Sep 30 
10:00-11:00am Tahitian
11:05-12:05pm Keiki Hula

Please bring your keiki in to finish off our hula, Keanuenue and I love You, Hilo.  I'd like to move on to a new hula next month and introduce hula implements.

Please take care during the storm and enjoy some movies and popcorn :)

Aloha no, malama pono, a hui hou...
Kanani

'Ae, another typhoon :)

[updated - please see change]

So yet another typhoon is upon us on yet another Sunday morning. Bummer. Hope you all are keeping safe. 

For all Sunday students, September 30 will be our make-up class date, but please note the change in times. We have a 2-hour performance the night prior and will be semi-exhausted for earlier class times.

Sunday, Sep 30 
10:00-11:00am Tahitian
11:05-12:05pm Keiki Hula

Tahitian students: If you are unable to make this class, please use a Tuesday between now and November to make up for Sep 16.  

For all my keiki parents, Sep 30 is the only make-up date available. Please email me for Sep 16 refund if you cannot make it. 

Mahalo nui, Malama pono, A hui hou,
Kanani

Ua pono kā kāua hana!

Success!

Mahalo nui to everyone for such a successful performance! (Ok, minus my rush on Na Vaqueros and my costume malfunction -- oh boy!) What a great event and such an awesome time we had! A Big Mahalo to all the parents (and cousins, sisters, aunties, uncles :D) for all your kokua! Looking forward to the next Hoʻolauleʻa!
