Aloha & Welcome!

The Hula School of Santa Cruz (HSSC) invites you to discover the expressive dance form of the Hawaiian islands. Founded in 1998 by Leolani Lowry, a native of Hilo, Hawai'i, the HSSC offers hula classes for all ages and abilities and is Santa Cruz's primary resource for Hawaiian cultural events.

HSSC's official halau name is Ka Lei Wehi O Ka Mailelauloa, which honors Leolani's past kumu hula and the big-leaf maile, a symbol of her upbringing on the island of Hawai'i. Ka Lei Wehi O Ka Mailelauloa is an 'ohana style halau where everyone is welcome.

Whether you are new to hula or would like to start dancing again, you will find becoming a part of the 'ohana at Ka Lei Wehi O Ka Mailelauloa to be rewarding and enjoyable. We welcome you to join us and share the hula with others who have Hawai'i in their hearts.
