Halau Hula Ka No'eau

Halau Hula Ka Noʻeau is located in Pawa'a. We offer hula classes, performances and cultural consul In 2002, Mr.

the School … Hālau Hula Ka No'eau

We at Hālau Hula Ka No‘eau have built our reputation on the philosophy and creed that the “art of hula” expresses all we see, hear, smell taste, touch and feel. We are guided by the belief that the best foundation in creating something new is a thorough understanding of the past. The best environment in which to succeed is one that encourages discipline, commitm

ent and creativity. Established in 1986, in the rural town of Waimea on the Island of Hawaiʻi, by Kumu Hula Michael Pili Pang, the hālau (dance school) maintains the philosophy and the hula ku'i style of dance associated with hula master Maiki Aiu Lake. In 2002, the main school was relocated to Honolulu on the Island of Oahu and currently runs thirteen classes a week. Artistic Director … Kumu Hula Michael Pili Pang
Kumu Hula, artistic director and choreographer Michael Pili Pang has turned to the origin of hula, its means of expression and documentation - to voice the political, social, cultural and economic context in which Hawai'i exists today. A protégé of Maiki Aiu Lake and Mae Kamāmalu Klein, Michael Pili Pang graduated through the 'uniki rituals of hula in 1979 as an `ōlapa (dancer) and in 1985 as a kumu hula (master teacher of Hawaiian dance). He received a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Dance from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa in 2005. Combining his western academic education with his hula traditions Kumu Hula Pili Pang has presented lectures, demonstrations, and concerts at universities and colleges in Hawai'i, North America, Canada, and Asia. He founded Hālau Hula Ka No'eau in 1986, in Waimea, on the island of Hawai'i and continues to perpetuate the art of hula at his current hālau in Honolulu, on the Island of Oʻahu. Pang was appointed the Executive Director of Culture and the Arts for the City and County of Honolulu by Mayor Mufi Hannemann. He served in this capacity throughout the Mayor’s term of office. Today, he teaches nine hula classes a week and is the Executive Director of Mu'olaulani, a non-profit corporation promoting hula as an inherent art form. The Company … HULIAU
The hālau's performing group, Huliau, has emerged as a front-runner in placing hula on the concert stage. The company’s name was chosen first as the theme of the hālau’s annual dance concert but has become a statement and philosophy for the company’s continuance of hula practices and cultural beliefs in this modern day world. Huliau is translated as “a turning point”; a change in time; a concept of being rooted in the past and moving forward into the future. Huliau is made up of artists and practitioners maintaining the traditions and cultural practices associated with hula. Each of the performers began their journey in hula as a student in the dance school Hālau Hula Ka Noʻeau. Their association with the hālau extends from 1986 to the present. Since 1994, Huliau has performed in over 40 cities across the United States, Canada, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.

We are honored and excited to announce the return of HULIAU to the iconic Hawaiʻi Theatre!

After a 10-year hiatus, one of Hawaiʻi's beloved hula traditions returns for a special one-night-only performance.

Join Kumu Hula Michael Pili Pang and Hālau Hula Ka Noʻeau as we celebrate 40 years of dance, chant, and Hawaiian traditions on Saturday, August 15 at 7:00 PM at the iconic Hawaiʻi Theatre.

First presented in 1996 to celebrate Kumu Pili Pang's first decade as a kumu hula, HULIAU became part of the Hawaiʻi Theatre's inaugural season and continued as an annual concert for 20 consecutive years. Now, this cherished production returns to the stage in celebration of Hālau Hula Ka Noʻeau's 40th anniversary.

Experience an evening celebrating the wonderful world of hula through traditional oli, live music, and dance. The performance also honors the enduring legacy of the teachings passed down from Maiki Aiu Lake to Kumu Hula Michael Pili Pang and the generations of haumāna who continue to carry this tradition forward.

Whether you have attended HULIAU before or will be experiencing it for the first time, we invite you to be part of this special celebration.

🎟️ Tickets are available now. We hope to see you there!
