Welcome to Halau Hula 'O Lono, the learning center for Hula Kahiko (ancient forms of dance) and Hula Auana (modern forms of dance) for all ages. We incorporate music, language, crafts, workshops and special projects into our hula lessons. This organization was founded in 1996 by Uncle Howard Lono and Aunty Manuiki Lono. Together they created a vision to fulfill the needs of the Hawaiian culture and the arts in the Pacific Northwest.
The mission of this halau is to perpetuate, educate, administer, and to adhere to our Hawaiian heritage thru the language, music, hula and the customs of our people. We maintain open communication with our Kupuna (elderly/ senior citizens) and a willingness to serve and share knowledge (mana'o) from Kumu Hula to haumana with dignity and compassion.
The study of hula is not only dancing and teaching choreography but to understand the history and language thru kupuna of Kaua'i. Halau Hula 'O Lono is 'ohana as we dance, eat and celebrate together. Cooperation and getting along is a priority. Haumana depends on each other to ensure success in all that we do and to embrace each other as hula sisters and brothers.
