Hawaiian dance club celebrates 19th year in LW

HUI O HULA

In 2004, Jojo Weingart and her husband, Joe, moved to Leisure World from Honolulu to take care of Joe’s mother, Helen Wingate.

A year later, on March 17, 2005, Jojo and several LW residents, including Kaye Huff, started Hui O Hula.

Since then, traditional hula dance classes have been offered twice a week continuously. The hui/ group also shares its aloha in hula at numerous performances inside and outside the gates.

The current hula subject is medley “Mahina O Hoku/Aloha Wau Ia ‘Oe” and dancers are looking forward to performing for and with hula sister and March birthday girl Lori ‘Lolo’ Chamberlain in Mutual 11 with her neighbors and other March birthdays ladies.

All are welcome to Hui O Hula’s classes. For more class or performance information, call 562 431-2242.
