Kathy - “Uluwehi” - teaches the Papa Liko Lehua (women’s mid-level class). Kathy began dancing at the age of 5 while living on Wake Island. Although born in Honolulu, Kathy has lived in Northern Virginia since high school.
Uluwehi says that the Halau has given her structured training and a true sense of not only the meaning of hula but also of Hawaiian culture and language. She feels honored to be entrusted with imparting this knowledge to students.
Joy - “Hauoli" - began the study of hula in 1971 under the tutelage of Kumu Hula
Lovey Apana. She later performed at Kauai's Paradise Pacifica. Hauoli is in
charge of assisting Kumu Manu Ikaika with the Papa Lehua (women's upper-level)
class and coordinating programs for Halau performances.
"Dance is a window to one's soul, and the study of hula, by its very meaning, allows
one to lift the hearts of all those that learn and share it with others to enjoy," Hauoli says.
