Chaminade offers hula workshops

Advertiser Staff

An intensive week-long series of half-day hula workshops with five of Hawai'i's kumu hula will be part of Chaminade University's summer workshops and seminars guided by kumu-in-residence John Keola Lake.

Participants can enroll for the whole week at $150, or $30 per day.

The classes are June 20-25.

"You learn 10 dances (five kahiko and five 'auana) from five different na kumu," said Lake. The teachers are Hokulani Padilla, Nani Higa, Leina'ala Kalama Heine, Kahalepuna Richardson Naki and Patrick Makuakane.

The hula classes are part of Nana I Hawai'i I Ko'u Mau Maka (See Hawai'i Through My Eyes), which extends through July 13.

The noncredit community enrichment offerings will cover a wide range of topics. For more information or a list of other offerings, contact Joyce Cervantes at jcervant@chaminade.edu or 735-4739.
