Tahitian Kick-off :D

Yay! What a workout! Mauruuru! 

Quick clarification and an update to next week's schedule (kalamai, I forgot about my Hong Kong vacation...Yikes!)...


Tuition is Y5000/month for either Tuesdays (7:30p-8:30p) or Sundays (9am-10am), not both classes as they may end up overfilling in the future.


Exception for July (I will be in Hong Kong next week, so here are the make-up options this month...)


Sunday, 15 July 9am-10am
or
Tuesday, 24 July 7:30p-9p (1hr30m)
Tuesday, 31 July 7:30p-9p (1hr30m)

Keiki Hula & Tahitian

Hula Studio at Masonic Building Room 204 is finally open, and Keiki Hula classes have officially begun!  Please view schedule below and forward along to whomever you think might be interested. This monthʻs songs: Kuʻu Papale Lauhala (Great grandaunt Aina Kekoʻolani Keawe) and Ulupalakua (John Piʻilani Watkins).  We have lots to learn in our hālau studies and have already begun our ʻoli and ʻolelo. Hiki no!


Additionally, we are going to try out Tahitian classes, beginning tomorrow Tuesday, July 10 from 7:30p-8:30p. Please bring a towel, water, and donation coins for A/C. :-) We will need it.


Lastly, there is one more summer hula workshop being taught by myself, my mother Kumu Kuʻumomialoha, and kuʻu kaikaina Makanaalohapumehana.  They are both teachers of hula in Kapolei, Oʻahu, and I am lucky to have them even just for a few weeks to share their manaʻo with myself, my keiki, and you as well.  Participants will learn kahiko hula Kilauea (dance and chant) as well as KHBC (Vicki Rodrigues). We will also preview Na Vaqueros (Kuana Torres) for a possible workshop in the near future.


Mahalo ā nui to ʻAnake Josa Ampong for allowing us the much needed studio space and time to practice hula and Tahitian. I am truly grateful for such wonderful extended ʻohana! Please see below Hui Nohona Alohaʻs hula schedule as well. This is our sister hālau and is available to wahine (women) ages 18+. Mahalo once again, Aunty Josa!



A'ohe hana nui ka alu'ia.
United we stand, divided we fall. No task is too big when done together.
