Hula Classes 2008

Membership in Nā Lei Mohala o Hāla`i is $35 per month, which allows members to attend all published classes and receive special rates for workshops, special events, certain books, CDs, and materials. We have no age limitations for membership. But all students are expected to abide by the hālau rules, to study, practice, and be responsible for themselves and their mea hula. 

Drop-in fees for classes are $15 per class.

Location: Phone 217-9924 for information on class locations. Field trip schedule is available to members in good standing.

New summer schedule, June 11 - July 16:
Summer Session Ho`ike July 16 at the Palace Theater in Hilo
Registration for Summer 2008 is Now Closed
Please be prompt for the 9:00am rehearsals at the Palace Theater. Scott, who graciously handles the lighting and the video for Hawai`iana Live!, and Bob, the wonderful organist who performs at the show, also need to practice and set up for their parts. So, each show will have a certain amount of juggling to make sure everyone is able to do what they need to. Mahalo!
