A halau hula is a traditional Hawaiian school or gathering place where hula, the traditional Hawaiian dance, is taught and practiced. It serves as a cultural hub for learning about Hawaiian history, language, and customs, often emphasizing the importance of community and connection to the land. Students, known as "haumana," learn various hula styles and choreography, often preparing for performances that celebrate Hawaiian heritage. The halau is typically led by a kumu hula, or hula teacher, who guides the students in their training.
Halau, or hula schools, are invited to compete at the Merrie Monarch Hula Competition based on their reputation and past performances. Typically, they must submit an application along with a video showcasing their hula and cultural practices. The selection committee reviews these submissions, considering factors like artistry, technique, and adherence to traditional Hawaiian values. Invitations are extended to a select number of halau, reflecting both their skill and contribution to the cultural significance of hula.
A hula dance can be performed either sitting or standing. The hula dance has been part of Hawaiian culture since ancient times. Hula is traditionally taught by a kumu hula-hula teacher in a hula halau-hula school.
