INSTRUCTORS
Kumu Hula, June Kaililani Tanoue
Born and raised on the Hamakua (breath of the ancestors) Coast on the Big Island of Hawai`i, June studied hula with Kumu Hula Michael Pili Pang at Halau Hula Ka No`eau, and danced professionally with his performance company around the country from Honolulu to New York City. In June 2000, June was one of eight given the status of Kumu Hula, graduating through an `uniki ceremony, a hula graduation and rite of passage where knowledge is passed by the teacher to the students, and titles are earned by the students when a certain level is attained. June teaches the traditions passed onto her through her hula genealogy in the dance style of "hula ku`i", a term associated with the dance style of the late Hula Master Maiki Aiu Lake. She has also studied la'au lapa'au, Hawaiian herbal and spiritual healing.
Michelle Nalei Akina
Born and raised in Hawai`i, Michelle Akina has promoted the cultural arts of Hawai`i in the Tri-state area as a Hawaiian dance instructor, entertainer, and Hawaiian cultural educator. She has performed in concerts sponsored by New York cultural institutions including the Lincoln Center Out of Door, Museum of Natural History, Cooper-Hewitt Museum, and the World Music Institute. Taught hula from the age of four, Michelle studied in a hula halau (school) under renowned hula masters Maiki Aiu Lake and Mae Kamamalu Klein. Wishing to share her passion for the arts of Hawai`i, she co-founded the Hawai`i Cultural Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting the cultural arts of Hawai`i.
Keo Woolford
Keo is a multi-disciplinary artist, born and raised in Hawai`i, who began dancing hula in high school. In 1999, he became a member of Robert Cazimero’s Halau Na Kamalei, and began performing hula professionally with The Brothers Cazimero Royal Dance Company around the United States and internationally. Between high school and Halau Na Kamalei, a music contract took him to Los Angeles, but he instead caught the acting bug. His career in theatre began in 1995 with his critically acclaimed and self-penned one-man show, He Hawai`i Au. He went on to play numerous roles in theatre and film. At the end of 1998, Keo returned home to become a member of Brownskin (Hawai`i’s equivalent to Nsync). He is also a prolific songwriter, having numerous hit songs performed both by his group and other artists, including four number 1’s. He was also a part of the Island Warriors CD, which was the first album from Hawai`i, and the United States to ever be nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards in 2002. After starring in London’s West End as the King in The King And I, Keo now continues his artistic pursuits in New York.
