I started dancing hula when I was 16 years old.
After moving to Hawaii, I attended Hawaii Community College to attain Hawaiian Studies with an associate degree of Hula Dance. This degree exists only one place in this world, in Hilo Hawaii, where I live now.

Aya was awesome! She's so sweet and kind :) I really appreciated her taking the time to teach and being patient with me learning the steps. Her music choice was great too, love the songs! Definitely must take the class if you're in Hilo visiting or wanting to learn how to do the Hula!
