When I met M\u0101lia Helel\u0101 two weeks before opening Still & Moving Center in 2011, I invited her that very day to come give hula classes. Although she told me she had become a hula teacher at a remarkably young age, I really had no concept of the exceptional rigors she had undergone to attain her status as a traditionally trained Hawaiian hula teacher. An ancient culture\u2019s precious and preserved knowledge is not passed on lightly, as I\u2019ve come to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the age of 24, M\u0101lia\u2019s hula teacher hurtled her into the lofty responsibility of creating her own solo performance for Hawai\u2019i\u2019s Merrie Monarch festival. M\u0101lia was competing to be Miss Aloha Hula, the most significant hula title in the world, based on demonstrated knowledge of both ancient and modern forms of hula with their appropriate costumes and possible instruments, as well as Hawaiian chanting, known as oli.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As she sat backstage waiting to perform, a question swept over her, \u201cWhat am I doing here?\u201d Although she\u2019d been dancing hula since age 8, she had never before danced at Merrie Monarch, let alone danced it solo, let alone created every element of her performance: from choosing the music, to her choreography, to her costume and lei. Her kumu hula (traditionally-trained hula teacher) also asked her at the last moment to wear heeled shoes and add a train to her gown for the modern hula, which is very awkward if you\u2019ve always danced barefoot and never danced in a holok\u016b gown!<\/p>\n

The answer to M\u0101lia\u02bbs question was this: She was there at Merrie Monarch to accomplish some of the multitudes of tasks her teacher had set for completing her training as a kumu hula.\u00a0<\/p>\n

M\u0101lia’s dedication to the hula, to her kumu (teacher), to her hula h\u0101lau (school) and to her parents carried her through the Merrie Monarch festival. Despite stepping on her long gown in her heels, she offered a beautiful hula \u2018auwana dance, completing the ancient hula kahiko dance more comfortably. In hindsight, she would have done a lot of things differently, but given the rigor of the circumstances her kumu had set up for her, she did the best she could at the time.

Acknowledging M\u0101lia\u2019s skill under intense pressure, her commitment to Hawaiian dance, chanting, music, and protocols, as well as her receptive heart to the ancient culture, M\u0101lia\u2019s teacher Kumu Pulu\u02bbelo Park determined to graduate M\u0101lia at the highest level, allowing her to become a kumu hula in her own right at the tender of 24, later that very year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Malia immediately embarked on a second rigorous period of preparation for her \u2018\u016bniki (graduation ceremony).<\/p>\n

On an October afternoon, M\u0101lia was called forward to receive her \u02bb\u016bniki at Ke-ahu-a-Laka, a heiau (Hawaiian temple) dedicated to hula located on the north shore of Kaua\u02bbi. Leading up to her graduation, M\u0101lia experienced many moments of self-doubt. Kumu M\u0101lia recalls, \u201cI wondered whether or not I was worthy enough to become a kumu.\u201d \u00a0Nevertheless, with the support of her teacher and family, M\u0101lia progressed through the final steps of her \u02bb\u016bniki.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe culmination of the ceremony happened when my kumu tied on my k\u012bhei (a rectangular cloth worn over one shoulder), representing the securing of my training. At that moment, I experienced a pivotal inner shift. I remember looking at the scene before me and realizing that my vision had become very sharp. I could see the landscape, and especially the leaves, come into crisp focus. In that instant, I experienced deep clarity. It was a moment of alchemy,\u201d M\u0101lia recalls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On October 12, 2002, on the birthday of her kumu, Pulu\u02bbelo Park, M\u0101lia Helel\u0101 became an \u02bb\u016bniki graduate with the title \u201ckumu hula\u201d. This month we recognize her 20-year anniversary!<\/p>\n

If you ever talk to M\u0101lia about her early years of learning hula, you\u2019ll quickly learn about her wonderful father, the late Manu Bird. His encouragement and insight made all the difference in terms of M\u0101lia\u2019s dancing career. M\u0101lia used to tell the story of how he forced her to dance hula.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI never forced you,\u201d he corrected M\u0101lia. \u201cWe had conversations, and you always agreed to try dancing hula for a little while longer.\u201d His dedication to his daughter and her dancing provided the steady hand and heart that guided M\u0101lia through all those moments of self-questioning, bringing her to the beautiful life opportunity that awaited at the other side of her training. At his side was Malia\u02bbs mother, Mary, a beloved fixture to this day in M\u0101lia\u2019s classes, always a helping presence. Her parents\u2019 support and aloha established the solid foundation from which Kumu M\u0101lia continues to grow.<\/p>\n

As a part of the graduation process, M\u0101lia and her hula sister Leimomi were responsible for organizing a h\u014d\u02bbike, a public recital where the new graduates would be introduced to the community. With a lack of practical experience, M\u0101lia relied heavily on the support of her mother, who stepped in to help organize the logistics of the graduates\u2019 recital. M\u0101lia took care of her new hula responsibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This summer, 20 years later, and at the exact same venue in He\u02bbeia where her recital had taken place, I had the privilege of watching M\u0101lia step forward to bolster her mother Mary, putting on the mantle of k\u0101ko\u02bbo (support) and coordinating the details of her father\u2019s life celebration. I\u2019ve often heard Malia express amazement at the organizational skills she\u2019s developed over the last two decades. It is the mark of a highly trained individual that she was able to martial those skills in the midst of grieving the loss of her beloved father.<\/p>\n

Although she says doubts still visit at times during her hula journey, M\u0101lia recognizes that her \u02bb\u016bniki 20 years ago set her foundation. She has since developed a wonderful hula h\u0101lau, having found a home at Still & Moving Center where she feels both she and the h\u0101lau continue to grow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, with three children nearing adulthood, M\u0101lia reflects on this passage of time. \u201cI feel as if I\u2019ve grown as much on the inside as I\u2019ve witnessed my children change and grow on the outside. Life is an unfolding process of many steps, and hula is the same. I feel so humbled to have this much time to dance and share hula, and I\u2019m so grateful to Still & Moving Center for providing such a sanctuary for me to teach. The cross-cultural exchange has exposed me to so many different modalities of movement and thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who knew how many other lives M\u0101lia would so graciously touch along her hula journey? Many of the thousands of students who come through M\u0101lia\u2019s hula program enthuse over the Hawaiian learning they receive from M\u0101lia – whether in hula, \u2018ukulele, \u2018\u014dlelo, oli, or lomilomi. Perhaps even more meaningful, however, is the warmth of aloha they receive from their kumu and her gratitude circles before class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We at Still & Moving celebrate M\u0101lia for following her path to become a kumu hula!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
