Hula in Kauai: Lysandra Cook Oahu Photography

Back in September I had the pleasure of traveling with my halau to Kauai. We were joined by our sister halau from Japan and we met up with our hula brothers and sisters from all over the islands and world.

Here are three of my lovely hula sisters, the one in the middle also happens to be my daughter.



Here is most of our gang. We took in some sights, including a trip back to Fern Grotto where we danced Aloha Kauai for the other visitors.


We worked hard to clear a sacred site. It was hard, sweaty work but we all felt blessed to be able to work such special land.



After the hard work we went up and danced on another sacred site. It was amazing to dance on the same land that has been danced on for hundreds of years. We were graced with a double rainbow while we were dancing. I often wish I could hula with my 5D strapped to my chest. These were taken as the sun went down after we danced.


We chanted up the sun and danced at another sacred site with many other dancers from all over. It was amazing to share such aloha.


And we had fun, fun, fun.


That is my daughter and two of her best friends on the left. On the right is me and my hula sister from Japan.


I am so happy to have my hula ohana.
