Idaho Hui, Aunty Alva

Aunty Alva: Showing her Aloha
Every time I return to Idaho, I especially love seeing Aunty Alva. She is one of those Aunties that I can chat with for hours. She always has a funny story to tell, or animated recollections of the past that I really appreciate. She is a wonderful seamstress and has helped Hulabootie to sew many a costume for our events. I can count on her to give me good advice when I’m in need; about hula or life! I Love her energy, big heart, warm smile, easy going personality, and I also love her hula group!

We had the opportunity to do 2 workshops and a private lesson. The ladies danced with smiles on their faces. I am always so happy to dance with this group because of their positive energy! Look at the photos: can you feel their energy???

Ikaika and Molly did a private lesson together and giggled a bit when they found out they had to hold hands. They were a bit timid at first, but soon caught on to the ways of dancing with a partner.

Exceeding Expectations!

Hulabootie Idaho Workshops:
Hulabootieのワークショップ　In　アイダホ

Joy passed the hula torch to Tasha and Aunty Patty to continue Saturday Morning Hula at the Meridian Studio. . . And things couldn’t be better! Tasha has reconnected with her hula diva inside, and Aunty Patty’s experience and big heart draw people by the droves. Since taking over, the group is growing every week! Tasha and Aunty arrive at the studio bright and early every Saturday morning with warm smiles. (even in below zero temperatures!!)
ターシャとパティーは土曜日の午前中にメリディアンスタジオ行われているフラをジョイから引き継ぎました。とても順調に行われてます。ターシャは彼女自身のフラ精神を再確認し、パティーは彼女の偉大さと経験が人々を動かします。交代してからは毎週のようにグループが成長してます！二人とも笑顔でスタジオ入りし、土曜の早朝であるにもかかわらず笑顔でスタート！とても寒いにもかかわらず・・・

During our holiday in Idaho, I had 4 Saturdays with the group both keiki and wahine. Keiki class was held like a usual hulabootie class with dancing, singing, smiling, stickers. At first, some keiki were a bit shy and shocked at my teaching style, but by the end of the 4 weeks were used to the routine and really shined.
アイダホ滞在中私は4度ケイキとワヒネの土曜のクラスに参加しました。ケイキのクラスでは東京のケイキクラスと同様踊りはもちろんのこと歌うこともし子ども達は笑顔でシールを受け取ります。はじめは私のケイキクラスのスタイルに驚いていましたが、4週間後にはみんな慣れてお互い楽しい時間を共有できました。

The first wahine class was interesting! Ladies were nervous, kind of holding their breath and were really stiff! Were they scared of me???? Not possible! By the end of it all, everyone loosened up and danced beautifully; and I had the opportunity to make some wonderful new relationships. We danced Ku’u Hoa and polished Pua Olena. The ladies have their first gig this month! Good luck Ladies!
最初のワヒネのクラスはとても興味深いものとなりました。みんなとても緊張をしていた様子。もしかして私のことを怖がっていたのでしょうか・・・。そんなことないですよね！？でも終わる頃には緊張がとけとてもいいレッスンとなりました！新しい友達もできましたしね！はじめにKu’u Hoa を踊り Pua Olenaは以前から踊っていたので再確認の意味を込めまとめとして踊りました。今月彼女達にとって初めてのステージがあります。がんばってください！
