Synopsis

Welina Mai! Practitioners with the Hawaiian school Halau Nohona Hawai'i will share mele (chants) and hula kahiko (the ancient form) that honour nā ali'i (chiefs) and nā akua (deities), and demonstrate cultural values of the kanaka maoli (native Hawaiian people).

 

For generations, it is through hula that history, traditions, and stories about Hawaiian culture—its people, way of life, sense of aloha and connection to the earth—have been passed down. When one dances hula, one is connected to the universe. In this workshop that is open to everyone of all ages, discover the basic dance steps of hula, through storytelling and of course, the dance itself.
