At Ka Lā Kapu, we value staying true to the cultures of Polynesia as much as possible. We embrace every one of all ages that are interested in learning more about the Polynesian cultures. As a practicing student, you will have the opportunity to learn the technique of multiple Polynesian dances along with connecting spiritually to the ‘aina (land), our kūpuna (ancestors), and stories of the maoli (native people). Not only will you become a second ‘ohana (family), you will also have an opportunity to join in the beautiful efforts to perpetuate the Polynesian culture to our beloved communities.

SCHEDULE:
Intro to Hula/'Ori classes are every Thursday, July through November, 2025. After the intro class has been completed, haumāna (students) will be moved to their appropriate class levels, which might be on different days and times. Although Intro to Hula is co-ed, our year-round hula classes are separated by gender so that students can focus on the movements and styling specific to men's and women's hula.
