With exclusive access to a dedicated webpage filled with invaluable resources, including hula lyrics, translations, instructional videos, and the chance to connect with fellow members of our halau family, your journey begins here. As a cherished member of our halau ohana, you'll not only master the art of hula but also immerse yourself fully in its world. Engage in diverse activities, from assignments to upholding our halau's cultural guidelines. Embrace the rich traditions of hula by wearing the traditional pa'u skirt and pareo, paired with the halau shirt, and build lasting, meaningful connections within our halau community. Beyond dance, your hula journey is filled with exciting opportunities. Attend our annual recitals, meet graduation requirements, and even participate in the prestigious www.hoikehawaii event for performances and competition tryouts. We believe in the transformative power of hula as a means to connect, uplift, and enrich lives. In addition to your hula journey, our halau places a strong emphasis on community service, local performances, and adding value to the community.

Please remember that commitment is essential. Missing three unexcused classes may result in removal from the halau. We kindly ask that you notify Kumu in advance if you are unable to attend a class, allowing us to plan accordingly and ensure your continued growth in the art of hula. Join our hula family today, and let's embark on this beautiful journey together—a journey of self-expression, cultural appreciation, community enrichment, and the joy of hula.
