This one-hour Hula class will introduce you to the beautiful cultural dance that comes from the Hawai'ian people.

After first discussing the history of Hula, the class moves into embodying the foundational steps with that cultural understanding. You are invited to bring a scarf to tie around your waist or a skirt to wear - this is optional! There will be a few extras available for anyone that would like to borrow one.

About the teacher:

As an outdoor facility, our programs and events are almost always dependent on the weather. We are also a force-free facility, so if one of our animal ambassadors isn't interested in participating in a program, we'll respect that and offer our audience a great alternative. We appreciate your understanding if your program changes. In the event of severe weather, programs may have to be canceled.
