Hula moves @ HawCC

By far one of the most popular programs at HawCC... the hula program attracts many learners from diverse ethnicities and background. Under the tutelage of Dr. Taupōuri Tangarō and instructor Manaiakalani Kalua, learners are immersed in the practice of hula. Hula from the distant past to more contemporary manifestations provide the learners with a broad palette of dance based on the traditions of Hālau O Kekuhi that emanate from fire! From graceful to bombastic... its all here!
