PLEASE WELCOME our new student: Jenna Lin! She officially started with Kalama last weekend and we are excited to have her! She will be attending our Tahitian Dance Class on Saturdays 830am-930am. In the next couple of weeks please welcome students who are going to be attending class for the first time! We love meeting new people and watching our Ohana GROW!
Aloha Dancers!
The Ho'ike was a great success! I had a lot of feedback from many other dancers, vendors, and family that was there to watch the show! I have heard so many nice complements about our group! We also had a HUGE success at the workshops! Maile had many people attend her fresh flower lei workshop for Little Grass Shack and I had around 40 people attend my Tahitian Dance Workshop. A special thanks goes out to Vairea who helped me at the Tahitian Dance Workshop. I believe that each and everyone of you reflected a lot of high- energy and excitement to the audience and really showed them that dancing is not just technique and precision~ but it is also lots of FUN!!! I hope that you all continue to learn Polynesian Dance. I really enjoy working with all of you and teaching you. I know that at times it can be stressful to get all of these big shows together but I appreciate your hardwork and patients! At the end of it all we did an awesome job! You should all be very PROUD of your dancing! I would like to recognize Patty and Denise for an outstanding job on the costumes. I would like to also recognize Dawn for helping out on the MC for the Ho'ike last minute!
Here are a couple of links to check out regarding our show!

POI BALL!!!
Aloha! In our new calendar we have Maori Classes and Samoan Dance Classes. I will be teaching the new classes. We will be using four long poi that is machine washable and two short poi that has a plastic cover for the sound. The colors of Maori costumes will be black, yellow, and green. The poi themselves will be green. The cost for the full set of poi ball is : $25.00. If you would like to order I do need the payments by: Wednesday October 22nd. If you cannot order now I will give you the information on how to order your own BUT you do need it to practice. If you would like to order by credit card please go to the website and click under the tab: Clients and Students and pay through the tab for registration fees and hula- gram deposit. If you will do the payment this way please let me know. Other things we will be learning besides Maori action songs and Samoan Siva is: Tititorea, Tirakau, Lapa Lapa, Sasa
Please know that this will be hard so you do need to practice. Also remember that I like to do different choreography which includes modern and traditional. These numbers will be a challenge but it should also be FUN! :)
PLEASE let me know which events you can or cannot attend! Thanks so much
