Dancers share the story of Kaneohe through Hula
The club offers Hawaiian dance lessons every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. All are welcome. Those who want to learn basic steps may come to Clubhouse 6 on Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m. After basic steps, all dancers, regardless of skill level, are welcome to join the walk-inhula- out session from 1-2 p.m. No learning is necessary. Regular class begins at 2 p.m., after the walk-in-hula-out. Thursday classes are held at Veterans Plaza from 1 p.m.
Kaneohe is the newest song dance currently taught at the club. Kaneohe is a community located on the windward side of Oahu. This song celebrates the establishment of a telegraph service in Hawaii in 1914.
The club had to cancel its Aug. 11 performance due to unforeseen reasons, but looks forward to dancing for Los Alamitos Senior Center this morning.
On Aug. 20, Hui O Hula and its band will entertain Carmel Village in Fountain Valley at its summer luau party, and celebrate LW resident Lindell Phillips’ 100th birthday and the greatgrandson Channing Phillips’ 13th birthday.
