Let's welcome back this hālau to SAF. Don't forget to stop by the see them perform or bring your keiki to the Keiki Korner. This is our wonderful halau that it on for all the keiki to enjoy at SAF.

September 11, 1999 in Sacramento, California. Under the direction of Kumu Hula Juni Kalāhikiola Lovel, students span in age from keiki (children) to our kūpuna (elders). The name of the women’s hālau “ Hālau Ka Waikahe Lani Mālie” translates to “the peaceful, heavenly, flowing water” while the men’s hālau translates as “the water’s reflection”. Just as water is essential to life, each student contributes to the life & legacy of the hālau.
