Keikilaniwahinealiipouna (Puna) lives on Kauai, Hawaii. As record keeper of Hawaiian culture and history, she is an internationally honored elder of the Hawaiian islands. Her family-roots take her far back in time. Her direct ancestors are found in the royal family of the time of the Hawaiian kingdom, as well as in the lineages of the hula masters (kahula), the lua masters (kalua) and the seers (kahuna).

Kumu Hula Keali'i Ceballos (Keali'i O Nalani)/California
Hālau Hula Keali‘i O Nālani, under the direction of Kumu Hula Keali‘i Ceballos, was founded in the spring of 1991. Keali‘i draws his love for hula from his mother, Cissylani Ceballos. An avid hula performer and instructor in her own right, “Aunty Cissy” introduced hula to her son.
A hula journeyman, Keali‘i has studied under such renown kumu hula as Robert Uluwehi Cazimero, O’Brien Eselu, Leina‘ala Kalama, George Lanakilakekeahiali‘i Naope, and Kawaikapuokalani Hewitt.
As a Kumu Hula, Keali‘i emphasizes the importance of awareness. He strives in perpetuating the Hawaiian culture - its art, its identity, its language, its sense of ‘ohana. The hālau serves as the vessel in which these legacies are taught and shared through our hula.
Mele - "Nani Wale Hai'ku" (audio sample)
Version - Kapena
We will learn a hula at waltz time, so special!
