Craft Lake City Workshop: Modern Hula Dancing

Join us for this unique dance workshop with local hula instructor, Kahealani Ohumukini Blackmon of Halau Ku Pono I Kamalani. In this class, Kahealani will walk attendees through the foundation of the Native Hawaiian culture and the basics of the modern hula, called auana. Attendees will get to practice the basic steps and hand motions that accompany this beautiful artform, telling a story through movement. This dance will be learned and performed to Hene Hene, a traditional Hawaiian song. You will leave this class with a deeper appreciation of hula, Hawaiian culture and a complimentary lei!

Beginners are welcome and all supplies are provided.

As part of our New Americans Workshop Series, you will also learn about our instructor’s cultural background & its connection to the craft. Craft Lake City is offering three full scholarships to each New American workshop based on financial need. To apply for a scholarship to this workshop, click here.

About the Instructor:

We are Halau Ku Pono I Kamalani. I am Kumu hula Kahealani Ohumukini Blackmon. I found my way to a stage at the young age of 18 months old and never wanted to leave the lights and the music. My Kumu Hula (teacher), Keola Ohumukini, had me teaching keiki at the age of 11. I knew from a young age I wanted to perpetuate and share the knowledge of my Native Hawaiian culture. We look forward to bringing a touch of paradise to you!
