Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa Hosts Hula School

Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa rests in one of the most historic districts in all Hawaii. The lands known as Keauhou played a very significant role during the Kamehameha dynasty and several defining moments in Hawaii's history took place here. To further resort efforts to share the rich culture and history of Hawaii with guests, Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa "adopted" Halau Kala'akeakauikawekiu.

The relationship with Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa means that the halau (hula school) holds its practices on resort grounds. Guests are welcomed to sit, watch, enjoy, and take photographs as the keiki (children) and adults work diligently with their kumu (teacher) to perfect intricate hand and foot movements while expressing the emotion of hula.

Halau Kala'akeakauikawekiu ladies practice each Saturday morning from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. From 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. keiki, ages 4 to 12 years, rehearse. Keiki return each Wednesday afternoon from 2:30 p.m. until 5:00 and ladies from 5:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. Rehearsals are generally outdoors on the Hawaii or Bayside Lawns.
