Mahalo nui kākou for all your hard work! Keiki, you were AWESOME! I may not have been able to watch it all, but I saw some pretty fab photos and heard some very rave reviews! Maika'i kēlā! So very proud of you all! Moms (and dads..and aunties and uncles too :D)...mahalo ā nui--wale nō! Lots of time, work, and effort, but I hope you felt it was worth it. They have helped perpetuate the mana and pass down the manaʻo. For that, my sincerest of gratitude.
And now for ʻOkakopa! (October) :D
We will dive right into a new mele, called Kahana Malie. It is a hula noho, or sit down hula, done with kalaʻau (stick implements). I would eventually like them to fashion their own kalaʻau, but we need to find the time to look and prep them. I will work on that this month in preparation for hoʻike next month. It is a beautiful mele that I hope they will enjoy.
We will hold off on Ka Uluwehi o ke Kai for the moment. It was a rough go, so letʻs move on for the moment.
We will finish up/brush up on mele: Pupu hinuhinu/Ka Huli Aku, E Liliʻu e (both auana and kahiko), and the boys will begin learning their own numbers...specifically, On the Beach at Waikiki and Laupahoehoe Hula. Iʻd like all of these to be included in their Hoʻike Hula come November 9th. Again, please let me know if you can make this event. If thereʻs anything Iʻd like to have your keiki participate in, it will be this family event.
Me ke aloha pumehana,
Kanani
