Hawaiian Hula classes in the New York area



	Aloha kakou, and welcome to Halau Hula O Na Mele 'Aina O Hawai'i. For over thirty years, we have taught students in the New York area -- young and old, experienced and new, native and foreign- what the art of hula is, and how it has become a way of life to those who have learned it. We invite you to learn more about the halau , how it has grown throughout the years, and how it has continued to share Hawaiian culture through hula. We are currently working on adding more features to our website., including more information about our classes, photos and video of past performances, upcoming performances and student guidelines. Please visit us again to view these features.	What's new with the halau: • The halau will be sponsoring a 'Hula Lesson Recession Special' event, a one-day event for those who have always been interested in learning how to dance the hula but never had the time to commit to a full term class. More details can be found on our support page! • The halau will be performing at the New York Uke Fest this Sunday, 5/31 at the Gershwin Hotel from 2:30 -3:30. Come check us out! • The halau is now fundraising to participate in this year's World Invitational Hula Festival this November! Please check out our latest fundraiser and make a donation towards a student to help them reach their fundraising goal. You can also check out our past experiences and successes at the WIHF in 2004 and 2007.

"The hula is Hawai'i. The hula is the history of our country. The hula is a story itself if it's done right. And the hula, to me, is the foundation of life. It teaches us how to live, how to be, is the ability to create one's inner feelings and no one else's." - Uncle George Na'ope
