2011 Moanikeala Hula Festival: Pikake Leilani Hula Halau

Visit the http://www.polynesia.com/

...in honor of our first kumu hula or hula master:

Aunty Sally Moanikeala Wood Naluai, who trained scores of young Polynesians in the art of hula from 1963 until she retired in 1980.

"At the PCC, Aunty Sally will always be remembered and celebrated as a beloved kumu hula," said Ellen Gay Dela Rosa, Theater Director and Aunty Sally's niece. "But her legacy lives on in Hawaii at this festival that brings together kupuna [elders] and keiki [children] to share and perpetuate the Hawaiian culture."
