We believe that the littlest keiki can dance hula and have welcomed dancers as young as two weeks old!

Caregivers dance together with their keiki so that everybody learns something! Most hula are performed seated, so keiki can explore hula from the safety of a familiar lap. The 30 minute class time is just right for developing attention spans.

Participation in this hula halau (school) is one of the best introductions to Hawaiian language and culture.

Children will learn both hula kahiko (ancient hula) and hula auana (modern hula), with the basic steps as well as oli (Hawaiian chants). Children will learn a true appreciation for nature, as well as how to make flower lei. Some classes may learn to use implements, such as the ipu (gourd drum). Kumu Malia imparts a genuine enthusiasm for learning as well as a deep appreciation of nature. Your child will have the opportunity to participate in Still & Moving’s Diwali Celebration Oct 23 and Merry & Bright performance Dec 17, 2022.
