Adult hula school in Lahaina, Maui taught by kumu Kealani Kitaguchi.

 

Women and Men welcome. Currently Meeting on Wednesdays at 5:00pm for practice.

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 (chants), 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). This has always been so through out time. 

 

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.
