Tomorrow we will take the opportunity to review na hula He U'i, Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai, For You, To Make You Love Me, Ku'uipo and perhaps Green Carnation. We will put the finishing touches on Hanalei Moon, also.
Please bring your oli (E Ho Mai) which we will review, if we have time!
I have the four February 2nd pancake breakfast tickets for those who asked for them ($10.00 a ticket, half of which will be returned to you after the books are done!). You might want to consider putting those $$ in your costume fund :-)

February 5th class
Aunty Manu will be joining us next week!
Plan to dance To Make You Love Me, Ku'uipo and Hanalei Moon (and perhaps whatever we review on January 29th). Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to dance while Aunty is with us.
Perhaps we can impress her with our oli that day, also (and maybe even an appropriate Hawaiian language greeting!) :-D

January 15th class
Please bring your pepa with the "E Ho Mai" oli for tomorrow's class. We will be reviewing it together.
Take a look at November 19th blog post about the oli. There is a sound file there, so you can listen to the tone and rhythm.
We will also be finishing/tidying up the steps to "Hanalei Moon" with Aunty Lei's kokua.

Recap of last week's talk story
Aloha kakou!
Welcome (e komo mai) to Molly to our Winter sessions. We're glad to have you with us!
This post is a recap of some of last week's in-class talk story, in case you missed anything.
Our class sessions are as follows:
6 weeks starting January 8th, ending February 12th
6 weeks starting February 19th, ending March 26th
(2 week break for Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo - no classes April 2nd or 9th)
5 weeks starting April 16th, ending May 14th
The Carco Revue will be Thursday, May 16th and Friday, May 17th. Whoever wants to dance may dance! Practice/rehearsals will ramp up probably the first two weeks of May, since we won't have a lot of prep time in that final week of classes.
Upcoming events will be listed in a separate post.
Merrie Monarch information will also be in a separate post.
I will plan to bring CD's next class with some previous, current (and maybe new!) mele.

Merrie Monarch Ho'ike Tickets
If you are going to the Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo and plan to go see Aunty Manu dance at the ho'ike on Wednesday, April 3rd, here's the website at which to get instructions and print out your request form.
http://www.merriemonarch.com/hoike-tickets
Requests need a money order/cashier's check sent with the form. I would suggest asking for the maximum 4 tickets ($20 total) as there is a possibility that not all of us going will get tickets. Then we can share what we have. (Or if we have a surplus, sell them).
Do not send your request until tomorrow (Tuesday, January 15th) as the Festival will not accept anything postmarked before Tuesday.

Fundraiser!
Terry Ignacio of Ka Papa Maile class at Halau Hula 'O Lono has organized a "Flapjack Fundraiser" at Applebee's in Tukwila on Saturday, February 2nd from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
This is how it works:
Each dancer takes tickets to sell to friends and family. The tickets are $10 each, but the dancer gets to keep $5 per ticket; the other $5 goes to Applebee's.
The breakfast itself consists of two hotcakes, eggs, bacon, sausage and choice of coffee, tea, milk or orange juice.
Terry arranged this mainly to help fund her own trip to the Merrie Monarch Festival, but wanted to give everyone the opportunity to make a few bucks. Some dancers are using the money to contribute to their costume fund!
If you would like some tickets to sell, please let me know. I see Terry Tuesday nights and can pick them up for you.
(Of course, you can buy yourself a pancake breakfast, hang out with your hula sisters, then refund yourself $5.00!)
