Hula uses gentle movements to tell a story

Hui O Hula welcomes all to take hula lessons —regardless of skill level—and start dancing either for fun or for health. Hula is enjoyable and its movements are gentle. In class, dancers learn to use their hands and facial expressions to tell the stories in songs. Remembering the lyrics while keeping on beat is also key.

Classes are held twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 p.m. Tuesday class is offered upstairs in Clubhouse 6 in the mirror room; Thursday classes are held either at the Veterans Plaza or inside Clubhouse 3, depending on the weather. For more information, call 562-4312242.

Hui O Hula dancers and the staff at Optum dance Tiny Bubbles together during a lunch break.
