Performances

Emerald 'Āina Hula Dancers

Based along North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, Emerald ‘Āina Hula Dancers is a women’s Hawaiian hula group devoted to bringing the spirit of Hawai‘i to festivals and community events throughout the coastal region. Spanning generations and dance experience levels, our group shares a deep love for hula as a sacred art form. In each performance, we don’t just share a story- we embody it.  At some performances the keiki (kids) join us.


Hula is more than dance for the group; it’s an expression of connection, culture, and spirit. Our dancers study the history, mythology, and language behind each piece in weekly classes, bringing depth to every movement and story. From ancient kahiko to modern ‘auana, we honor the richness of Hawaiian tradition through a variety of hula styles and time periods, each offering its own unique voice. Through graceful gestures, heartfelt intention, and audience participation, we invite joyful, interactive experiences that welcome all people to feel the aloha. 

Upcoming Public Performances

Check back. Our big month is June every year.
