Hawaiian Hula | Nani Kai Dancers | Halau Keiki (Kids) Classes

These young dancers are participants in a program that teaches them the foundational knowledge of the steps and meaning behind the two main types of hula, the hula kahiko, the indigenous form of our dance featuring mele (songs) and ʻoli (chants) grounded in the history and folklore that has sprung from our ʻāina (land) for centuries, and hula ʻauana, the form of hula that has evolved over the years as migration to the islands has brought so many different cultural backgrounds together to form the ʻohana we know today.

This dance piece is by Kendall Hawley who is performing with her students at the Los Angeles Bellydance Academy. She teaches Hawaiian Hula and Gracious Ladies Hula which both classes are great for students of all dance levels. L.A. Bellydance Academy on Monday evenings and Sunday mornings.
Kendall Kanoa Hawley began studying Hawaiian hula over 12 years ago in Phoenix, AZ where she was born and raised. Of Native Hawaiian descent and great-great-granddaughter to Kumu Hula Rose Joshua, she began dancing for the chance to connect with her own roots but soon found a passion unlike any other she had in her life. A pursuit of continued challenge later led her to Tausala Productions, under the direction of Fina and Oliva Schwenke, where a concentration on Tahitian Ori broadened her horizons even more.
Now having made the move to Los Angeles, she is very happy to have found a home as lead dancer for the Nani Kai Dancers, a professional Polynesian dance troupe performing throughout Southern California, and studying as alakaʻi and keiki (kids) class teacher under Kumu Hula Hiwa Bourne with Kuhai Halau ʻO Ke Kukui Malamalama O Ka Hula. Through education, activism, and dance, Kanoa strives to encourage more accurate knowledge and appreciation for Polynesian culture and history throughout the world.
