Aloha mai käkou - We've just returned from the 2008 Queen Lili'uokalani Keiki Hula Competition. The halau did extremely well - 1st place keikikane hula kahiko, 2nd place kaikamahine hula kahiko, Miss Keiki Hula 1st place, Master Keiki Hula 1st runner up, Hawaiian language award (kaikamahine) and Overall keikikane. Hulö! Hulö! They worked so hard and it was all worth it. We are especially proud of our three sons, Kamalei (11), Kamaehu (10) and Kamahiwa (8) who performed in the competition. A memorable moment for us was watching our son, Kamalei compete in the Master Keiki Hula competition. His opened his performance by singing his original composition, "Kaulana 'o Maui". It was fabulous! We are so blessed to be in such a wonderful hälau. As a kumu hula myself, I was very picky when selecting a hälau for my children. Ke Akua truly led us to Hälau Kekuaokalä'au'ala'iliahi. Mahalo e Ke Akua! Hula lives!E ola,Luana
