If you are interested in joining the halau please contact the Kumu . Observation may be suggested first.

 

Although practice is one hour a week

hula consumes more than that time.

There is typically practice done at home

or with other haumana on their own time,

homework such as researching mele (song)

or practicing oli (chant), finding out history

about a place they may be dancing about,

or participating in a workshop the halau is

doing together. Hula is more than just an

extracurricular activitiy but a lifestyle that

the haumana becomes dedicated to and in

that, grows with each other into ohana (family).

 

Haumana are expected to attend practice weekly, participate in workshops, and performances on time.   A halau is a school of learning. The student comes to learn dance, technique, history, values, skills, and more about the art, love, & tradition of hula.
