Description of Position:

Hired as a Hula Instructor for Ho'omäka'ika'i (Explorations Program). Everyday for 6 weeks, we taught the children (grades 5-6) hula. On day 1, they learned a brief history of the hula. They were then taught 2 songs, one kahiko and one 'auana, that they would dance at the Friday night hö'ike. The children learned a hula kahiko in honor of Pauahi that was performed with an ipu heke 'ole (which they made) as a hula noho (sitting dance). The hula 'auana they learned was also done as a hula noho, each group having a different hula implement: ka lä'au, pü'ili, ipu heke 'ole, 'ulï'ulï, and 'ili'ili. |

Our summer session class of approximately 17 students participated in a weekend camping trip at Makaha, O'ahu. The students pitched their own tents, cooked their own meals, and communicated only in their 'ölelo makuahine. There was a lot of laughter, games, skits, and music. A truly wonderful experience that I will always cherish.
