With Kumu Hula Ka‘anohi Aipa

Intermediate and advanced students are invited to join us for one or both of these instructional Hula sessions. In each session, students will learn two dances and how they are closely related – one kahiko and one ‘auana. Ka‘anohi Aipa has been the kumu of Ka‘anohiwaianuenue Hula Studio in Kailua for 27 years. She began her training with Caroline Tuck and later studied with Bella Richards, Edith Kanaka‘ole, Pua Kanaka‘ole, John Topolinski and John Lake. Kula Abiva graduated as ‘Ōlapa from Maiki Aiu Lake in 1979, and has also worked closely with Kahauanu Lake and the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame concert presentations. He became a kumu hula under Edward Kalahiki in 1995, and is presently the kumu of Hālau Na Kipu‘upu‘u in Waipahu.
