  • Halau i Ka Pono / Zen Life Meditation Center 46 Lake Street Oak Park, IL, 60302 United States (map)

The ancient or classical dances of Hawaii that are accompanied by chanting is called Hula Kahiko. These classes are more vigorous and also emphasize the cultural aspect of Hawaii. It's a deeper dive into the stories of the dance, the translations and application to life. Many hulas are part of a hula lineage that goes back centuries through teachers such as Mary Kawena Pukui, Pat Bacon, Lokalia Montgomery, Iolani Luahine, Hoakalei Kamau’u, and Maiki Aiu Lake.

The class will learn the chants and dances accompanied by chanting.
