Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu offers classes in beginning and intermediate hula. A new beginning class opens every two years and is announced here and through our mailing list. Students learn hula kahiko, hula 'auana, oli, Hawaiian language, history, crafts, culture, and more. All classes last an hour or longer and are held on weeknights.

Students with prior hula experience will be placed in an existing beginner level class and may be invited to move to a more advanced class.

Open enrollment for our next Adult Hula Class is 2014. Please email Aunty Bobbie to put your name on the wait list.

Open enrollment for our next Children's (Keiki) Hula Class (minimum age 5) is now available.  Pre-register by Monday May 27, 2013.
