WINTER 2010 CLASS SESSION

January 11 - May 27

Halau Na Wai Ola is a Committed Program. This means we only accept students four times a year in order to keep classes manageable. However, interested students may still enroll mid-session with the approval of Kumu Kau'i and must enroll in the Beginning I/II Hula class.
