Specialized WORKSHOPS and GROWTH:

Over the years, we have had the honour of hosting and attending specialized workshops instructed by hula masters from Hawaii and the mainland iincluding Uncle Chinky Mahoe, Uncle Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu, and the late Auntie Mililani Allen. These workshops help us to keep the presentation of hula as authentic as possible which is paramount to both teachers and students of Spirit of Aloha.
