y name is Ehulani Stephany (far right, above), and I am a kumu hula (teacher of hula) for my Halau hula Ka Makani Hali 'Ala o Puna, which means "the returning fragrant winds of Puna." I have been teaching hula since 1990, and have studied under 14 different kumu hula. I developed my own style of hula by combining the styles, thoughts, information, and protocol of all my kumu hula.

Hula is my life-style, everything that I do in my life revolves around the hula. There are protocols in your life that need to be followed, even when you're not dancing, chanting, or teaching the hula. These protocols become your life-style.

Hula is my passion and I love teaching people the hula, it is such a reward to see what they can accomplish, especially the people of non Hawaiian ancestry, who are very appreciative of learning the hula.

I stress very much on learning ALOHA, and living it with all my students, along with learning a short chant of ALOHA, then taking and sharing the ALOHA with the rest of the world.
