We warm up with the basic steps and progress into choreographed hula. <\/span>We study both standing and <\/span>noho (<\/span><\/i>sitting)<\/span> forms of hula, as well as learning to use a variety of hula implements over time, such <\/span>as the <\/span>ipu<\/span><\/i> (gourd drum), the<\/span> \u2018ili\u2019ili <\/span><\/i>(river rocks), the <\/span>kala\u2019au<\/span><\/i> (wooden sticks) and <\/span>\u2018uli\u2019uli<\/span><\/i> (feather-capped gourd rattle).<\/span><\/p>\n This Intermediate Hula Kahiko class is comprised of members of Kumu M\u0101lia\u2019s <\/span>halau<\/span><\/i> (school for learning a traditional Hawaiian cultural practice), which is named N\u0101 Hula Ola Aloha. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Halau <\/span><\/i>classes happen on Thursday evenings, and members frequently attend Sunday <\/span>hula kahiko<\/span><\/i> classes as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Halau <\/span><\/i>members are invited with their families to participate in cultural events, such as quarterly <\/span>hi\u2019uwai<\/span><\/i> (ocean cleansing ceremonies) on the solstices and equinoxes, and occasionally other events and performances in the community.<\/span><\/p>\n You can use this class to prepare for performances, especially if you live on island or are able to travel here.<\/span> Halau<\/span><\/i> members off island can sometimes participate in online performances as well. Performances opportunities at Still & Moving Center include our May Day event, our Diwali Festival of Light in October\/November, and our Merry & Bright celebration in mid-December.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Halau<\/span><\/i> membership takes you closer to the heart of Hawaiian culture – its history, language, connection with the <\/span>\u2018aina <\/span><\/i>(land), etc. <\/span>Halau <\/span><\/i>members occasionally learn traditional methods for preparing their adornments (such as flower <\/span>lei) <\/span><\/i>in preparation for a performance or ceremony. <\/span>As a traditional <\/span>lomilomi<\/span><\/i> practitioner and trainer, Kumu M\u0101lia sometimes shares Hawaiian massage techniques during <\/span>halau<\/span><\/i> sessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Joining this <\/span>halau<\/span><\/i> requires at least a 2 year commitment.

Her h\u0101lau (hula school), which meets at Still & Moving Center, is N\u0101 Hula Ola Aloha. Completing her \u2018\u016bniki (graduation) under Kumu Hula Pulu\u2019elo Park in 2002, she now teaches hula and oli (traditional Hawaiian chanting) to a wide range of students, from infants and toddlers to kupuna. M\u0101lia studied oli under Kumu Hula Keola Lake. She began her formal training in lomilomi massage as a teenager. She was licensed by the State of Hawaii as a massage therapist in 1998 and as an esthetician in 2002. Her hula practice and lomilomi practice, she says, are the same. She continues to look to the beauty and grace of the Hawaiian environment for grounding and inspiration.
