Halau Hula 'O Kamuela captures Miss Aloha Hula title

Advertiser Staff

Mahealani Mika Hirao-Solem of O'ahu's Halau Hula 'O Kamuela was named Miss Aloha Hula 2010 last night to the tearful pride of kumu hula Kau'ionalana Kamana'o and Kunewa Mook. Her kahikio number about Queen Emma's famed travels to Kaua'i island, and a modern number on beloved Diamond Head earned her 1,082 points.

The emotional favorite, Ashlyn Aulani Tavares of the late Rae Fonseca's Halau Hula 'O Kahikilaulani, came in fifth with 1,060 points.
