Halau Hula Moaniaala Anuhea

Through HHMA, Kumu Nani Aiu-​Quezada provides the best of two worlds: culture and beauty of hula and support and fun of the Halau ‘ohana. First of all when you visit the halau, you’ll feel like you’re visiting the island home of a family friend. Then you’ll be struck by the music: the ancient beat of the ipu and chant, or the instant warmth found in the melody and words of a Hawaiian song. Then you’ll witness the fluidity of the dancers’ movements, as their feet move and turn in unison along the dance floor, their arms glide as if moving through water, and their hands land ever so gently to convey the story within the song. Finally, you’ll find yourself smiling and laughing with our Kumu and haumana because hula is fun. While they’re focused on learning and perfecting the choreography, there’s always room for a funny story or joking about the silly things that, more often than not, happen during class.
If you’re interested in learning hula, hands down, this is the place to do it. You’ll be embraced by the halau’s Hawaiian hospitality and challenged to grow as a hula dancer. True story.
