RULES TO REMEMBER
Remember this is OUR hālau, treat it and take care of it as your own. Good examples would be, making sure our shoes and slippers are removed and put away properly. Hula bags are in order with only the items requested inside. If you have taken something out in the waiting room please return. If you have rubbish please throw it away in the rubbish can.
Be prompt and prepared for class. This means on time and ready in your uniform.
Be ready to learn with your mind, body and heart. Hula is an expression of one's inner most feelings.
Understand your Kumu wants you to dance to the best of your ability and will push you by correcting you in the way of our halau that was passed onto her. As a student, please always watch your manners and actions, you are a reflection of not only your parents, but also your Kumu. (And she will find out.)
No negative behaviors or energies in our halau. We want to make sure we have good mana when we learn or make things.
Please remember that Kumu does things a certain way for different reasons that was passed onto her. If you have a question please ask her directly. For example, no recording without permission.
E waiho i ka hilahila ma ka hale… we leave shyness at home…-`Olelo No`eau
Parents are expected and responsible to participate in any workshops scheduled by Kumu to learn how to create and craft different accessories and aspects of their child's costumes.
Communication is KEY, the door is always open…
Through these doors enter the future of hula……………
