Hula dancers perform for assisted living house in LB
Hui O Hula, the LW Hawaiian dance group, continues to offer free lessons upstairs in Clubhouse 6 on Tuesdays and outdoors at Veterans Plaza on Thursdays at 1 p.m. All are welcome.
Even though Hui O Hula has been entertaining inside and outside the community for nearly 19 years, it always welcomes new potential performers. Those who only want to dance for enjoyment are also welcome. Having fun swaying together is the main object of the class. The friendly dancers are always glad to share hula knowledge. The club gives a big mahalo/ thanks to LWer Rosie Carrillo for inviting Hui O Hula dancers to Holy Family Church’s senior priest Father Joseph’s surprise birthday picnic party on Sept. 24. Dancers enjoyed celebrating Father Joseph’s latest trip around the sun so much, and they are looking forward to many more.
On Sept. 15, Ivonne Meader, the administrator of Mom and Dad’s House Cottage in Long Beach, invited the LW hula dancers back for another performance. It is always pleasant to entertain the residents there at their colorfully decorated patio. At this party, Meader took the opportunity to thank her staff and residents with food and entertainment.
After the well-received hula program, the staff and Hui O Hula dancers also did a couple popular tunes together.
With the holiday season around the corner, Hui O Hula will soon begin practicing popular Christmas hula. Call Kaye Huff at 562-431-2242 or email Jojo@huiohula.com for the holiday performance schedule or class information.
