Kumu Frank Keli'i Chang
Aloha!
I have been busy making arrangements, preparing to welcome Kumu Hula, Frank Keli'i Chang to Colorado. I am so honored to partner with Kumu Keli'i to bring an intensive style hula training to the Denver metro area. I have had the distinct privilege to have received mentor ship under Kumu Keli'i. I know him to be a humble and gracious human being. Kumu is great wealth of knowledge, and he does not hesitate to share with those that have a sincere desire to learn.
Kumu Keli'i's personal mission is to teach the knowledge handed down to him by his former Kumu Hula. His desire is to produce knowledgeable and traditionally trained teachers to carry on the legacy of his Kumu Hula.
It is virtually impossible to receive this type of intensive training here on the mainland. I was inspired to create this opportunity for those who want to directly focus on becoming expertly trained hula dancers and/or Kumu Hula. This training will definitely be life changing and for many a lifelong dream come true!
There is no doubt that this training will be intense! It is definitely geared towards the
serious hula student or to those who desire to get serious.
The following are the two sessions being offered:
'Olapa Hula Session: Monday August 27th - Friday August 31 2012
'Olapa hula training - 2 1/2 years
Kumu Hula Session: Sunday September 2nd - Thursday September 6th 2012
Kumu hula training - 3 1/2 years
(Each session is scheduled to run for five days, 8 hours a day, twice a year for two and a half years. Each week long class will be equivalent to one year's training.)
On April 17th we will begin accepting applications for acceptance into the Kumu Hula training program. If accepted into this class you will be required to attend all sessions and master all of the coursework with the intention of becoming a Kumu Hula.
