Hui O Hula

In November, Hui O Hula dancers are gearing up for the holiday season. Each year, after Thanksgiving, dancers take time out of their busy schedule to wish all a merry Christmas with hula such as Haleluia (Hallelujah in Hawaiian), Po la’i E (Silent Night in Hawaiian), and White Christmas “LA Style” (wearing sunglasses and without shoes).

Hula dancers practice weekly on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Kaye Huff is Hui O Hula’s event coordinator. Call her at 562-431-2242 for class information or to book a Hawaiian style holiday program. All are welcome.
