(Although we usually perform at the Aloha Festival every year, we are unsure of what will happen next year. We will assess that option when we get there.)
**Our rule is that if you plan on performing at the Aloha Festival, you are only allowed to miss (be absent) up to one class per month. Consistent attendance is crucial to you being able to properly learn what is needed in order to perform. Roll-taking will begin in January and will be strictly enforced. If you miss too many classes between August and January, you will be required to schedule a private lesson to catch up to the group. You will need to know the songs well enough to be able to solo them in order to perform. No exceptions!**
Fridays are reserved for ‘Ohana and Sundays are reserved for Ke Akua. Mahalo!
Recording video/audio and taking photos during classes is not allowed. We say this twice because someone always misses it!
*Please bring a bottle of water, a pen/pencil and a binder/folder to store the handouts that will be given to you. If you have a pā’ū practice skirt for hula and a pareo for tahitian, please bring that as well. There will be no viewing of classes that are not your own.
We have a private Facebook page for current-students-only, called "Nā Haumāna of Hālau Ho'okahi I Ka Hula" where we connect and talk about all things Polynesian dance, music and language related. Please request to join so we can add you once you become a student with us! It is THE BEST form of communication between the instructor and the dancers, so please make sure you stay connected. We also have separate pages for each class where our Creative Director will post practice videos, discuss costuming and more.
