"My daughter and I have been dancing with Hula Halau 'Ohana Holo'oko'a for more than six years.  It has been so much fun, great exercise, and a cultural education.  I never thought of myself as a dancer but, although it is always challenging, I keep learning and I am accepted as a member of the 'Ohana--the family." - Hi'ilei

"I started hula when I was 15 to connect to my Hawaiian roots, Hula Halau 'Ohana Holo'oko'a has offered me a place to learn, develop, and share the culture through dance.  As an olapa, I now work with the haumana to help them learn the way I did.  I love working with the keikis because they're so open and have so much fun."   - Melia

"My daughters love attending hula class each week.  In addition to feeling like a part of the 'Ohana, they have enjoyed learning the story behind the dances and the language.  Dancing with the Halau has developed our daughters' confidence and has taught them about the Hawaiian culture and values that I grew up with.  Mahalo Aunty Lisa for sharing your love of hula!"   - Joy
