THROUGH THEIR ANCIENT FORM OF STORYTELLING

WITH ITS ROOTS GOING BACK TO ANCIENT TIMES,
HULA IS THE LIVING HISTORY OF THE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE HAWAIIAN CULTURE
HULA IS:
-
therapeutic and sacred dance, with its movements helping you to discover how your body wants to move and low with the natural rhythm of Nature
-
an energy dance, similar to Tai Chi, bringing your energy body and your body, mind and spirit into a calm and balanced place
-
a spiritual practice, in experiencing the beauty of these ancient chants and the frequency and vibration in the sacred words as a "Living Language" of Positivity, Love, Acceptance and Gratitude, to live a life filled with wonder, rapture - and love for yourself and the world around you
-
an ancient form of storytelling and the living history of the Hawaiian culture, with the opportunity to come to know and respect who the Hawaiian people are and the world they have lived in for so many generations.

Testimonials
Dr. Jane Smolnik Boyd,
Naturopath at Ultimate Healing, Asheville NC
I was thrilled to discover the beauty and sacredness of the Hawaiian Hula and it’s traditions! It is like a moving, flowing, dancing meditation, honoring Life, Love and the Great Spirit. Kaleo is a wonderful dedicated teacher with much passion for sharing the tradition with the stories, chants, and beautiful dance. I want to keep learning more hulas as each seems to be more beautiful and inspiring!
Patricia,
Spartanburg SC
Learning to live Aloha has brought profound changes to my life, within a very short time. The Hawaiian Hula is grounding and balancing to the mind and body - many physical "aches and pain" have been greatly reduced. My self esteem has increased. Hula is supportive of curvaceous femininity. I have made peace with my body, finally. My health and body image are improving day by day. Experiencing Hula under the direction of Hula Instructor, Kaleo has definitely enhanced my life’s journey.

Hula connects its dancers to music, earth, the present, the past and to each other. it's a way to build body confidence without changing a thing about you...to feel indescribably beautiful in a wholesome natural way...with love and respect as the foundation.

This is so beautifully healing. I am currently in Kaleo's Hula class. I have always had major, crippling body shame. I am learning how to move in unison with my innate beauty. This changes everything."
