Hula is a wonderful form of dance for all ages and gender. These classes ares open to teens and adults: male and female and will be held monthly in Manhatten beginning in September. There are two basic classifications of hula: auwana and kahiko. Auwana is the modern form of hula and Kahiko is the ancient or old form. This class will focus on Hula Kahiko through footwork, hand motions, mythology, history, plants, instruments and Hawaiian values. June Kaililani Tanoue is a Kumu Hula, a master teacher of the Hula. She studied with Kumu Hula Michael Pang as part of Halau Hula Ka No'eau on the Big Island of Hawaii. She also studied la'au lapa'au, Hawaiian spiritual healing with herbs, with Henry Auwae. Kaililani teaches hula in Chicago where she now resides with her husband, Sensei Robert Joshin Althouse at the Zen Community of Oak Park. Hula teacher, Carol Buckley has announced that she and other Massachusetts and Rhode Island-based dancers are going to either take the bus or carpool down to the first of the beginner workshops on September 17 starting at noon.

A. Cultural - I have legitimate-stage, dance-concert and arts-festival opportunities for *serious* *authentic* *trained* *accomplished* hula dancers. These gigs don't pay much (or at all) but they are an opportunity for mea hula and ka po`e Hawaii maoli to perform cultural outreach in beautiful settings, and work with the RI arts community. B. Entertainment - People keep calling me for luau, birthdays, etc. These gigs tend to require at least some tourist hula, and Tahitian never hurts. They generally pay a *minimum* of $100 per dancer for a gig of an hour or less - good for indigent artists and college students. If I know what you can do, I simply refer these gigs to you and you get to plan your own show, negotiate $$, and I don't take a cut. If you qualify and are interested, please contact me at 401-467-1993 or hulaworkshop@mac.com. GUEST INSTRUCTOR AT HULA WORKSHOP I would like to offer a venue for *serious* *authentic* *trained* *accomplished* hula dancers to teach workshops and get paid. We can co-publicize.
