Hula Halau O Makalapua Marama

May 2023

There are so many types of classes taught at this halau (from hula to salsa to taihitian and more), and the energy for them is so fun and engaging! Aunty Des really takes her time making sure you understand what you are doing, and she is so sweet and talented! The halau itself is very clean (you must be barefoot) and located in an alleyway, so it's easy to miss. Highly recommend trying this place out if you are looking for ways to broaden your horizons, try something new, or work out in a fun and engaging environment through dance! All ages and body types take part in the classes, so it's very welcoming and beginner friendly!

Been taking ukulele lessons with Des and she is an exceptional instructor. So patient and sweet making sure you understand every new chord or strum before she continues. After I told my husband about her, he started taking ukulele and Tahitian drumming lessons too. And she’ll add a couple hula lessons too. ?
