Kumu Kehaulani is one of the Kumu Hula of Hālau Hula ‘O Hokulani and works on the foundational Hula traditions with all new dancers. Kumu Kehaulani loves to challenge her advance haumāna but also has a gentleness and patience with Keiki Haumāna. Kumu Kehaulani has received many Awards for Keiki Hula Competition, including First Place Kahiko, First Place Auana and First Place Overall at the Ia Oe E Ka Lā Hula Festival.

In 1997 she found her permanent hālau home with Hālau Hula ‘O Hokulani under the direction of Hokulani and Larry De Rego. Aunty Hoku and Uncle Larry groomed her into the Kumu Hula she is today. In 2013, Kumu Leo went through her ʻūniki as a Kumu Hula, and is currently one of the Kumu Hula of Hālau Hula ʻO Hokulani. As a graduate of Ka Haka ʻUla o Keʻelikōlani college of Hawaiian Language, she combines her hula teachings with knowledge of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Language), Moʻolelo (Stories), and Moʻomeheu (History) into every hula lesson. Kumu Leo teaches all ages, from keiki to kupuna. As chanting is one of her favorite aspects of hula, she shares this crucial ʻōlelo noʻeau with all of you, "I leʻa ka hula i ka hoʻopaʻa." Hula is enjoyable because of the chanter.
