Additional Company Information:
Academy of Hawaiian Arts offers a strong foundation in hula fundamentals for all levels of dancers. All adult hula classes are currently taught by Kumu Hula Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu. Academy of Hawaiian Arts offers hula classes for keiki (children) ages 3 and above. New keiki students join the beginning class and will advance at the recommendation of AHA instructors. Keiki must be at least three years old to begin classes. New keiki will be evaluated to insure that they are able to fully participate in classes without distraction. Please discuss your keiki's particular situation with the instructor when you enroll. Academy of Hawaiian Arts holds a Hawaiian music ensemble class on Saturdays 11:45-2pm taught by Kainani Hartnett . The class is geared to learning 'ukulele, guitar, and/or singing parts while working on Hawaiian music arrangements. Players of different skill levels are welcome, as well as those interested in singing only. No music experience is required, but you must bring your own instrument. Beginners learn simple parts to start with and progress to learning new strums and picking, and to sing while playing. The ensemble's performing group, 'Ahamele, recently made it's debut at the 2006 'Ukulele Festival in Hayward. Please contact Kainani Hartnett if you have questions about joining the class, or about 'Ahamele. View the Payment Schedule for class fees
