1st Annual Hula Halau Ho'ike
No Ku'u Kumu - Beloved Teacher
Hālau Anuhea i ka Pōli ʻo Kawahine Ho'omanawanui presents its inaugural Hō‘ike, No Kuʻu Kumu — Beloved Teacher, a sacred evening of hula, chant, and storytelling honoring the kumu who came before us and the legacy of our kūpuna. This Hō‘ike marks a milestone for our hālau — a celebration of learning, lineage, and the sacred responsibility of carrying Hawaiian culture forward. Each performance is a tribute to the teachers who entrusted us with their knowledge, reminding us that hula lives through the guidance, discipline, and aloha they shared. From kahiko to ʻauana, every segment honors the stories, places, and people that shape our identity and connect us to our past.
