Papa Kahua & Hula
(Foundation & Hula Class) We will focus on the technique of Hula and Ori Tahiti as well as learn about legends, traditions, implements, and 'Olelo Hawai'i (Hawaiian language). We will learn choreography to mele (songs). We will also study the translation and poetry of each mele so that you, as the dancer, can embody every aspect of the dance. *Classes will be twice a week. (Except Beginners & Keiki Class) |

Kapinaoʻkēhaulani Gabriel (Kēhau) started dancing hula at the age of five under the direction of Kumu Hula Linda Piʻilani Danek and has happily continued her journey to where she currently dances with Hālau Hula O Nā Lei Mokihana in Honolulu. Kēhau has been given the honor of teaching specific mele under the watchful eye of her two teachers, Kumu Hula Keoni Martin and Kumu Hula Keoki Choy Foo, as she works to complete her ʻūniki training. She is excited to share all the manaʻo she has and continues to learn to perpetuate and glorify this amazing culture that has given her so much. Aloha nō!
