TAKE A HULA JOURNEY WITH KUMU LEI

WORLD RENOWN Kumu Hula Leihi'ilani Kirkpatrick will debut her Hawaiian Hula Workshops for the Mainland USA in SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA from JANUARY 23-25, 2015!  Kumu Lei has hula schools in Hawaii, Japan, Singapore, and now San Diego. Being the first ambassador of Hawaiian Arts and Culture in Singapore in September 2014, she has been invited to perform at Singapore's 50th Birthday Celebration. http://halaukaleikukuihiilani.wordpress.com/

As the Kumu Hula of Halau Ka Lei Kukui Hi'ilani, Kaua'i, Hawai'i, a Kahua (mentor) for teachers of the Kamehameha Schools in Kaua'i and the Kumu Hula and Kumu Huaka'i of Kaua'i Maoli, she continues the legacy of her parents who both served as Hawaiian educators for many years. 

Kumu Hula Leihi'ilani Kirkpatrick (Kumu Lei) comes to share her gift of teaching and offers to be a resource and advocate to the Mainland USA hula community leaders, teachers and Na Kumu Hula who desire to learn, preserve, and perpetuate cultural integrity in all aspects of Hawaiian hula, traditions, history and language, and to honor and glorify Ke Akua in all He has given us.
