Halau Na Wai Ola's annual ho`ike (show) last Saturday began with the traditional oli (chant) "Hiki Mai" by all the students and participants in the event. There were 200 of us! Hula Sister and her kupuna sisters are in royal blue at the front corners. I saw many happy faces there, both on dancers and on the audience members---our guest band, Kupaoa, sang their hearts out, as did our halau band, Pomaika`i Blend. Live music is the best to dance to!
