Hula Ku’i with Mu’olaulani Dance Company

Mu‘olaulani is a contemporary Hawaiian dance company, showcasing hula at its highest art form. Artistic Director and Kumu Hula Michael Pili Pang brings to the stage Hawaiian rituals, myths, and legends with a contemporary flair, to tell the stories of Hawai‘i and its rich culture. Performers have been trained through the dance school Halau Hula Ka No‘eau in the style called hula ku‘i, a descriptive dance style, which blends traditional hula with western idioms. Mr. Pang and his company have been a leader in Hawaiian dance theatre presentations throughout the United States, Canada, Taiwan, and Korea for the past decade. This 45-minute program is recommended for ages 5 and older. Young children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
