 Couples Dance- Vairea and Ikaika
This past week we performed for CU Boulders Taste of Asia. We did a multicultural dance which featured not only Polynesian dance but also Bollywood and Bellydance. Our Tahitian Dance section featured live drummers as well. Although it was FREEZING cold outside and snow was on the ground the show went on… Mahalo to the staff for having us at your event!

Mahalo Nui Loa for inviting us again! See you in Vail, CO on March 24, 2011.  Opening Drum Otea 2011  Dani Lei The Halau (Hula School) had another successful fundraiser last night at The Fortune Valley Casino in Central City CO. The Halau managed to get 35 members to ride on the bus to the Casino for $20.00 per person. Ellen, one of our Hula Sisters coordinated the fundraiser. Ellen even had a 50/ 50 raffle on the way to the casino which gave more proceeds to the school. We had raffles on Pampered Chef products donated by Ellen as well. Many of us gambled and won while some of us just went on to the dance floor and did what we do best…  Ellen - Taking Rollcall!
 Our hubbies support us too! On Tues March 1st and Wed March 2nd Halau Kalama members and students got to meet my long time friend Simi Hansen Fiso who I worked with at The Mai-Kai Polynesian Restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Simi and his brother Keawe came to Aurora, CO to help choreograph our Samoan Section, Maori Section, and Tahitian Section for our 2011 Polynesian Revue which starts on May 1, 2011 – our 4th Annual Lei Day Celebration. Not only did the Halau exprerience the creativity and talent of the two performers but also made long time friendships.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Hardly working.... but having FUN
January 28, 2011 Bromwell Elementary School in Denver Colorado hosted their multicultural day event. Kalama Polynesian Dancers entertained the school with Tahitian Dance, Bellydance, Maori Dance, Bollywood, and Hula Dance. We featured children and adult entertainers as well as featured Live Drumming with Lani and Kekoa. One of the highlights was our Ukulele Player/ musician Shan singing Palehua LIVE while Kahunani and Aiwa graced the stage with the Hula from Hawaii. We concluded the show by having the whole audience stand up and teaching them motions to the popular song- Hawaii 5-0. Not only was it a pleasure to entertain the students and their families but thanks to Bromwell we had the pleasure of tasting food from all cultures. I think the Indian Food was the best. |
