Classes

COVID-19 UPDATE: Currently, Experienced and Intermediate students may now attend classes in person or via Zoom. Masks are optional but encouraged in halau.

SCHEDULE: Hula Maryland tries to accommodate as many schedules as possible. Most classes are offered on both weekday evenings and on the weekend. Class times are listed below. Students may attend either or both classes each week.

FEES: The monthly fee for individuals is $60 per month. Families of 2 or more individuals pay one monthly fee of $80.00 that covers all participating family members for all classes. For students only attending via Zoom, the fee remains $15 per month. Fees are due at the beginning of each month, payable via Paypal, cash or check.

WHICH CLASS IS RIGHT FOR ME? Students with no previous hula experience start with our Beginner class. Students typically spend 4-6 months in the Beginner class, learning the basics of Hula Kahiko (ancient hula) and Hula ‘Auana (modern hula). Beginner students will progress to the Intermediate class with teacher approval.

Dancers with previous hula experience will be evaluated by the teachers to determine which class is best for them to join. Intermediate and Experienced classes are typically offered twice a week.

 

Beginner

Beginner classes introduce ladies of all ages to the basics of Hula Kahiko (ancient hula) and Hula ‘Auana (modern hula). We start groups of Beginners together in periodic sessions throughout the year. If you miss the start of a session by 3 or more weeks, you will asked to wait and join the next session.

PLEASE NOTE: We will start our next Beginner session after our hō’ike on November 16. If you would like more information, please contact us at hulamaryland@gmail.com.
