Completely overwhelmed with gratitude and aloha for everyone who helped make Na Pua o Keko'olani Ho'ike 2014 just awesome!! Deaz jus so much to be tankful foa and I aloha all of you for your love and support. This event wouldn't have been as much of a success without you. From da bottom of my pu'uwai...Mahalo a nui kakou

A special mahalo to all my hula moms, Nohealani, Aunty Josa, Uncle Jeff, Ku'ulei, Aunty Cindy, Uncle Kila, Mike and Pops Sale, Kimo, and da BOYZ! So much aloha (and patience wit me) from dressing room line up fail (omg), to imu execution, to decoration, cooking, and clean-up. Mahalo just doesn't do you all justice. Aloha nui a pau'ole.

Kaikamahine will begin with basics, followed by wala'au/mo'olelo time, a hula noho, new songs, and review.

Na Opio will then join in and enter with the oli kahea, basics, wala'au/mo'olelo, and then combined songs and/or Tahitian. Pau ka papa kaikamahine at hapalua lima (kaikamahine class is done at 5:30), and na opio will then concentrate on their own new songs and review.

Mahalo for continuing your studies with Na Pua o Kahakai, and a fond farewell to all our hula sisters who are PCSing this summer. We will miss you all but know that one day will we meet again. Malama pono, a hui hou! ~Kanani

Ho'ike 2014

Date: May 10, 2014
Time: 12noon ~ whenever, kaukau time (eating) @1pm, performance at 2pm-ish
Place: Rodriguez Pavilion (map below)
Potluck ~ family and friends welcome!

A big mahalo to Theresa for opening your home to all of us and to Kristie and Tiffany for your kokua. Good times and good laughs (on Chrissy's expense ;D). Much appreciated.

For those of you who have not made a lei po'o or 'i'i yet, I have the artificial ones they can use, but please at the very least make a ti leaf lei for them. Theresa, mahalo again and again...she is making extra 'i'i, as am I.

Also, moms, if you could please wear or bring something aqua/teal/turquoise/green for a top to wear during Me Ka Maluhia. I'd like all of you to at least stand in the back of the girls to follow me on this last song. White bottom if you have one, but any bottom will do.

I look forward to sharing this last performance and celebration with this halau. It has been an awesome and most humbling couple of years, and I will miss all of your keiki and you.  ...ok, and I'm looking forward to the food! :)

Hiki no!
