Kumu Lani's BIO...Kumu Hula Kulaniakea Kaleiki-AhLo inherited from her mother a rich hula heritage as well as all the dances of Polynesia. Kumu Lani is the daughter of the late Kumu Hula Louise Kahili’okalani Kaleiki, who founded the `Ilima Hula Studio on O`ahu 1956. Her aunty, Kumu Hula Luka Kaleiki was also a dominant fixture at the `Ilima Hula Studio, supporting her sister Louise and discipling a young Lani-girl. In 1974, young Lani won the Kaua`i Tahiti `Fete Novice Dance Trophy.Kumu Louise was a recording singer together with artists such as Aunty Emma Kamaka (Kumu Chinky Mahoe's auntie), Sonny Chillingsworth and the like. She learned hula from Uncle Henry Mo’ikelua O’ Tahiti Pa and Uncle George Na`ope. Eventually, Kumu Louise was entrusted with teaching hula to Uncle George Na`ope’s haumana as he traveled the world to teach hula. This gave birth to the unique `Ilima style of hula. The “Merrie Monarch” began as a four-day festival in 1964 by na Kumu Hula George Na`ope, Louise Kaleiki and Pauline Kekahuna; it was they who conceptualized the idea of a hula competition within the festival that was held for the first time in 1970 at the 8th Annual Merrie Monarch Festival. Since the passing of na Kumu Hula Louise and Luka, Kumu Lani became the sole survivor and heir to the `Ilima Hula Studio. She taught hula off and on as was persuaded by Uncle George Na`ope and others to teach traditional hula, again. Recently, with her decision to teach hula, she has made the unique `Ilima style of hula alive again in Hawai`i and at her rootlets in CO and MD. Kumu Lani also visits Japan to continue the sharingof Ilima Hula Studio. Kumu Lani is the heart of the revered `Ilima Hula Studio, past and present. Komo Mai! Come, welcome ~ and drink full of the spirit of HULA ALOHA! ... and do spread the word! HULA with Spirit ~ Live with ALOHA
