Halau Hula Ka No’eau

This is a great halau for beginners. They meet once a week in space they have at Paradise Cove, at the very back of manoa. If you know where the parking lot is before the manoa falls hike is, you’re in the right place.
The people in the halau are friendly enough and the kumu hula is very knowledgable. I loved his song selection. Members also have various opportunities to perform. This halau even goes to Merrie Monarch.
Being in a halau can get expensive. The cost of costumes and instruments can be overwhelming. Other Halaus can expect larger time commitments too, so shop around for the right fit, time commitment and style of instruction.
I have some experience dancing (I was in a halau when I was a lot younger and continued dancing throughout high school and college in school clubs), and was looking for a halau where I could continue working my hula skill. Unfortunately, this halau didn’t work out for me as I would have had to start at the beginning level.
