Join Us For Online and In-Person Hula Classes!

We help people experience the rich culture of Hawai’i through hula dance instruction and educational events in Beaverton, Oregon and are now able to further our reach across the U.S. and around the world through ONLINE classes and events.

Do You Miss Hawaiʻi?

Hawai’i holds a special place in your heart. But living somewhere else makes it hard to find a way to satisfy that yearning.

Without a place to experience the community and connection you can only find in Hawaiian Culture, you remain unfulfilled, feeling lonely and disconnected .

Everyone should have a community that feels like family.

Our students can now experience that feeling no matter where they live. Our In-person classes are taught in Beaverton, Oregon and we offer all of our classes Online.
