ABOUT US
Over 53 Years of Hula Traditions under the direction of Loea Hula John R. Kaha’i Topolinski
Ka Pā Hula Hawai'i is a tax-exempt non-profit educational and cultural organization dedicated to perpetuating traditional hula, the classical dance form of Hawai'i, and Hawaiian language and culture. Since 1973, Ka Pā Hula Hawai’i has showcased mo’olelo through the perpetuation of hula, Hawaiian history, genealogy, ‘oli (chant), lei making, and other workshops.
Ka Pā Hula Hawai’i supports connection to culture, preservation of Hawaiian traditions, and place-based learning. As a hālau, we seek to engage and empower participants to demonstrate their own creativity and artistic expression that connects them to history, their own families, and place.
