Annapolis Hula

Not surprised to find that my haumana are great at making wili style lei! Much better than I was when I started!

Preparing for a little lei making with my haumana!

Lā'ī (ti plant) is happy for some outdoor time!

'Ili'ili, or water-worn stones, used to create rhythms for chanting and dancing. These are from my one hānau, here in Annapolis.

It's the perfect time of year for strumming on the back steps.

Ua mākaukau mākou! We are ready!

Demo lei lāʻī (ti leaf lei) made for Fearless Girls Photography Camp, and the plant the leaves came from, looking a little naked. :-)

I had such a wonderful time with the girls from ArtFarmʻs Fearless Girls Photography Camp! Beautiful weather, smart girls, dancing outside... good times! Mahalo for letting me be a part of your fun camp.

"I luna lå, i luna..." Dancing with 'ili'ili (small, water-worn stones) at Ginger Cove.

Mimosa season in Maryland - as close as we get to lehua blossoms!

"Nani wale nå hala, 'eå, 'eå..." Annapolis Hula dancing at Ginger Cove this spring.
