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:

• Mahalo to all our supporters for coming out to our performance at Macy's Herald Square on May 17th! We've posted a clip of the halau's performance and some behind the scenes footage. Check it out on our media page!

• In February the halau is featured in Hula Le`a, a Japanese hula publication. Visit our Media page to see some excerpts:

"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
