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.

For more information, please contact Aunty Bobbie Mendes at AuntyBobbie@naleihulu.org.
