About our keiki classes:

Keiki (Children & Teens ONLY; ages 4.5 and up)

Our keiki hula classes include instruction in basic hula steps and fundamentals, Hawaiian dance and vocabulary. Instructors: Kumu Hula Julie Mau, ‘Olapa Princess Malia Villegos, Ho’opa’a Aunty Laurie Smith, Ho’opa’a Uncle Neil Romabiles.

Classes are approximately 60-minute sessions which include basic Hawaiian language for children: counting, colors, days of the week, and other hula directions and commands. These are then incorporated into basic hula ‘steps’, which is the foundation of a hula dancer.

Attire for girls are hula pā’ū skirts. Boys should wear comfortable shorts or sweats. Sewing Instructions are available. Pā’ū skirts (any print) are recommended, but not necessary for our students wishing to use them. If you would like to sew your own or would like to purchase one you may contact Aunty Laurie Smith at: kapuapoli@comcast.net.
