SUMMER 2008 CLASS SESSION

June 30th - September 18th

Halau Na Wai Ola is a Committed Program. This means we only accept students four times a year in order to keep classes manageable. However, interested students may still enroll mid-session with the approval of Kumu Kau'i and must enroll in the Beginning I/II Hula class.

CHANGE TO SUMMER 2008 SCHEDULE: The Beginning & Intermediate Kaikamahine classes will be combined into one class. Classes will be on Tuesdays, 5:15pm-6:15pm, starting on July 1st. There will not be an Intermediate Kaikamahine class on Wednesdays.
