Classes 

Hula is much more than a dance.

It is about learning and practicing social graces and common courtesies. It is about discipline, respect, kindness, humility, sharing, caring, unity, consideration, patience and, above all, gratitude -- we practice this ALOHA inside and outside of the classroom.

Haumana (student) must come to class prepared:  wear appropriate clothing, make sure hair is combed and pulled back away from the face, remove any or all jewelry that makes distracting noise, no chewing gum, listening ears, quiet during class time. Make sure to address teacher by "Auntie" as a sign of respect.

For all, haumana and malihini (visitors) coming into the Halau (school), please remove your shoes and place neatly on shoe rack or against the wall and have consideration and respect for the space and people in it. Our halau is a place for learning.

Let's have fun in learning and practicing Hula and Aloha.
