Fun With Hula Basics
with Keo Woolford

Have fun getting back to basics. In this short intensive class we will be working on basic hula steps and learning a combination to enhance your hula technique. In the style of Auntie Ma`iki Aiu Lake as passed on to Robert Cazimero, this class will help with your expression and extension, coordination and comprehension, poise and performance in a relaxed and fun environment. Learn your basics, then let go and dance!
