In this class, the students will learn about Hula from Hawaii. This will include a quick introduction to hula and choreography. This course is a fun and active trip to Hawaii via music and dance. We will always start the class with a time-in. The time-in is a moment for everyone to bring their attention and focus to our class by stretching and breathing together. We will then learn simple hand, arm, and hip motions followed by choreography to Hawaiian Santa. The duration of the warm-up and choreography time may vary due to student participation. Length of routine may vary depending on the ability of the majority to pick up choreography. All music is age-appropriate and all choreography is created by me. My teaching style is very intuitive. I try my best to read the energy and comprehension levels of the students. I adjust my lessons according to that reading. Overall, I try my best to make the lessons fun and interesting. During class, students will be muted. This helps with the sound quality and for the video to always be on the teacher so everyone can view the steps at all times. If there is a question, the student can always raise their hand and I will unmute the student or type in their question in the chat area. We will have moments during warm-ups and discussions where students will be able to interact. Towards the end of class, they’re welcome to ask questions.

Parental Guidance
Make sure to have enough space to move around in a safe environment.
Supply List
Students are asked to wear clothing comfortable to move in. For example shorts, leggings, and t-shirts, etc. Ideally, nothing too baggy as it will be difficult to see the motions. They will need a sarong/pareo/scarf. This can be any lightweight fabric they can use to tie around their hips. I will demonstrate how to tie them in our first lesson. Please keep an easy access water bottle nearby during class. You can count on us taking quick sips in between activities.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
