CLasses OFFERED

HULA

Rooted in a rich legacy of tradition, we teach this cultural art form including both hula kahiko (ancient hula) and hula auana (modern hula). From basic steps to choreography, each dancer learns hula protocol, ʻolelo Hawaiʻi and ʻoli (Hawaiian language and chant), basic steps and choreography.
ʻORI TAHITI

Different than hula which originates in the islands of Hawaiʻi, ʻOri Tahiti encompasses the traditional dances from the island of Tahiti. Known for the vigorous motions, ʻori can also include slow, graceful motions. Classes suitable for all levels for adults and children.
ʻUKULELE

ʻUkulele classes for all levels suitable for adults and children (ages 6 years+). All students learn fundamentals, chords and a multitude of strumming patterns. Instruments available for rental and purchase.
