Hula Class with Mohala

At Hale Akua, Mohala offers simple hula lessons every Wednesday at 5:30 PM, with additional availability upon request. Her classes are open to everyone—men, women, and children alike. Each session begins with an oli, a Hawaiian chant accompanied by hand gestures, followed by basic footwork and a warm-up with the ipu, a traditional gourd used for percussion. Participants then learn a simple hula accompanied by a Hawaiian mele, allowing them to take home a meaningful danced prayer.
