It was the last day of class for our 2024 Summer Hula Camp students, however theyʻll be taking home memories theyʻll never forget from the experience—just like this.

Performing for friends and families, the class of over 25 students took their audience from the sea to the land, performing three different hula representing what they learned over the seven-day workshop. This yearʻs class had a great mix of keiki (kids) and kūpuna (seniors), all working, learning and playing together.

A big mahalo to Kumu Kilohana Silve of Hālau Hula o Mānoa for leading the class, sharing moʻolelo (stories) and integrating ma ka hana ka ‘ike hands-on activities.
