Want to Teach Hula? Kumu Hula Training

Who is this Kumu Hula Intensive training for? If you want to teach the hula it is for you!

In the past few days I have gotten several emails from people asking if the
Kumu Hula training is for Kumu Hula only?

The Kumu Hula Training is for those who have always wanted to become trained as masterful teachers of the Hawaiian Culture and it's hula.  The opportunity to do so is not an easy thing to find. I know, I've been there. First of all, to locate a Kumu that wants to openly share of their mana'o. is a major challenge.
Location is also another challenge, as is time.

What I love about Kumu Keli'i is his heart. He is generous with his knowledge and shares it with those who seek it out. I know that there are those of you who feel intimidated, wondering if you are good enough.

You are good enough! And this training is for you! 

If you are a Kumu Hula or hula instructor you are also welcome to take this course. Some Kumu hula want to see through different eyes. This does not take away anything from what you know. It only makes you a better source of wisdom.  The only limits are those that you put on yourself. Why not become a vessel of knowledge.

The Kumu Hula Intensive is set to run for three and a half years, two sessions a year.

Wow! I really get so excited for everyone choosing this time to further their mana'o.

This training is being made this training available for all who would choose to become Kumu Hula.
This is a dream come true for many. The only pre-requisite is knowing that you want to be a teacher of the hula.

Kumu Keli'i posted this the other day on his Facebook page:
 "It is a minimum requirement that any Kumu hula should know if he or she wants to be an effective teacher of the Hawaiian arts. There is much to learn. So come and join me in Colorado! I hope to see you there. After the courses are completed in few years, your name shall appear below my hula genealogy as your hula genealogy. This is your mana! This is your authority to carry on my legacy in the traditions of my ohana and Kumu hulas. E 'ike paha kaua ma laila."

If you have this desire, and you haven't emailed me for an application please do so today!
Your destiny is in your own hands, and there is no reason to sit by and wonder any longer if you can do this!
Of course you can!  You just have to take the first step and apply.
Information is provided on the application page on this blog.

Mahalo!

A hui hou!
