Anolani’s Fundraiser for Ohana Dance Group

Aloha e! My name is Anolani, and I have had the privilege of studying Hawaiian culture and dancing hula under my Kumu (teacher), Kaponookalani. I began my hula journey in October of 2021 after joining this hālau (school). Over the years I have had such memorable learning experiences, including traveling to Hawai’i to learn directly from renowned Kumu hula, Kawaikapuokalani, learning about the rich cultural history at ‘Iolani Palace, and attending workshops where I was taught how to make lei and sew my own lole (costume). Such enriching experiences would not have been possible without the kindness and generosity of donors and supporters of our hālau. I hope to continue my hula journey and share my love of hula with our community. Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much) for supporting my hula journey and our hālau!
