Sunday Tahitian Class

Iaorana!

A quick reminder that 9am Tahitian class will resume this Sunday, June 2nd. However, I will not be having keiki hula. I am debating another day/time, even for Tahitian, but I will definitely not have keiki hula on Sundays. Alternate time/day suggestions are welcomed.

Mauruuru,

Seamstress & Upcoming performances

Aloha kakou,

Aunty Josa has called one of her seamstress contacts, Kiku, who will have time next week or the following to sew some pa'u tops and bottoms for those of you who cannot sew your own. It will take about a week to complete since she works day time. I will be purchasing white material for E Lili'u E for the upcoming 24 May show, but you are welcome to bring in material of your own if you'd like a practice pa'u for your keiki and/or red pa'u for future performances.  The white pa'u will be used for other songs as well with add-on designs in the works.  Again, performances are not mandatory, and most times I try to pick and choose keiki based on knowledge base and group/event.  It's simply a great way to showcase our culture and your keiki's halau studies.  If you are not anticipating your child performing, please disregard.

I will try to make some pa'u for borrowing, but I cannot guarantee they will be proper length. If you would like one sewn for your keiki, please respond with name, color, what to sew, and measurements (1. hip to below knee, 2. around hip, 3. armpit to below glutes, 4. around chest)

Fees:

-Pa'u top and bottom set, Y2500 plus yardage

-Pa'u bottom only, Y1500 plus yardage  

-Halau will pay for elastic and thread

Material costs from House of 66:

-about Y450? per plain color cotton and about Y1000 per Aloha print (someone please correct me if this is not right)
