introductory Hula Series
The hula series is offered in a 3-, 4- or 6-week schedule depending upon venue and location. The series are always at a beginner level. Beginning October 2025 all series classes will be 60 minutes. Prices may vary between venues. Typically, venues handle the registration unless otherwise noted below. The series are usually run May-August in the off season of the hula school year or in different venues than where regular classes are typically held.
In the 3-week series in each class, each week we will explore a different style of hula. The 3-week series is a really good introduction to show you the differences in each style although you will not be focused on learning a choreography in depth. One week we will explore hapa-haole, another week will explore traditional (kahiko), and the third week will explore modern hula ('auana).
The 4-week series may vary in which style of choreographies are taught (traditional kahiko , modern 'auana, or a hapa-haole hula). You will learn one beginner choreography in the 4-week series. In the 6-week series you will learn at a minimum two choreographies.
Each class will include a warm-up, 30 minutes of drilling steps, choreography practice, and a cool down/stretch. Practice videos and notes are not provided in the series. This is a great low impact cardio workout, and you'll also stimulate your mind all while learning a little about Hawaiian history, culture, and about beautiful places on the islands. If you decide you want more, consider joining the hula studies program where we go deeper and you also have the opportunity to perhaps eventually perform with us.
Space is limited depending upon venue, but this will be a more intimate learning experience than the workshops but not as in depth as the hula studies.
hula on the beach!
60-Minute Class. Open to All.
Join us on the beach for Hawaiian Hula! Classes are typically offered on the beach during the off-season (September-May) and will vary in location and time of day depending upon the tide, local events, and weather.
Dancing in the sand is hard and requires more balance than in the studio. I know it sounds fun and pretty, but please keep this in mind. Many of our beaches are sloped but we try to find a flatter area for the group.
After an hour of hula-ing in the sand, you may feel like you've been swimming or snorkeling for a while! Your appetite may be higher after also - just like swimming for some people!
In these classes, no choreography is taught.
You will learn basic foot work, arm gestures, and hand motions. We are moving our bodies to beautiful music enjoying nature.
You are strongly encouraged to attend a class in the studio first to really learn the footwork. Consider attending a workshop, dropping into an introductory series, or Polynesian Dance Class.
Announcements will be made on FB and IG with days/times and which beach access along the Crystal Coast we will be meeting at. (Anywhere from Fort Macon to Emerald Isle.)
Payment may be made by Paypal or Venmo below. Cash on-site is accepted also. You are strongly encouraged to register or email Amanda to let her know you'll be coming. In the event the class is cancelled (weather changes), you'll be notified. Please arrive a few minutes early to handle payments if paying by cash and please bring exact amount to make it easier.
*Cancellations are requested 48hrs. prior to start of any event. *Cancellations less than 48hrs. or no shows will result in a forfeit of returned funds. *By registering for this event, you agree to the policy.

hula lite
Due to request - new class starting!
Beginner friendly! Slower choreographies and less cardio focus than the regular series or hula studies classes - just graceful movements to keep us active and learning.
Great class for those just getting back into a fitness routine at any age and for 55+ ladies. This class is also suitable for those that need to remain seated - as hula is all about the hands/arm motions.
At some locations this may be called Senior Hula,
Silver Hula, Slow Hula, or Kūpuna (respected elder) hula.
45–60-minute classes depending upon venue
