Take notes

Aloha ladies!
I'm not going to be able to make the Halau meeting tonight. Whoever goes, please be sure to either email me at Rmcmanuis@aol.com, or update this page.

It appears that Uncle has selected a song for us, but not sure if it is for Hoike or competition. The song is Kauai Beauty. For the Makua's who competed last year, this is the entry song to Kipu Kai. It's a really slow song. I'm surprised that Uncle has selected this one.

If I can get out early from my event tonight I'll drive out there. If not, thank you in advance. Have a great weekend.

he hawai`i au

if you don't know it, please request it in class. if you've learned it before, now is a good time to start reviewing it. da kumu have decided he hawai`i au will be the big group number closing ho`ike 2008. uncle will usually "medley" it after an upbeat song: best bets are ka uluwehi o ke kai and ho`okipa paka.

just trying to keep everyone informed, in case this info hasn't been mentioned in your class yet....

some of you met alohi at the tahitian workshop or in class - SHE IS A FABULOUS TAHITIAN DANCE INSTRUCTOR! she taught last saturday and it was so much fun to learn some new tricks. alohi has an eye for technique and was good at saying what adjustments we needed to make to improve. LOVED it.
