Since last night Thursday April 28,2011 Hawaii has been in full Hula mode as we celebrate the olympics of Hula with the begining of the Merrie Monarch festival . Maui was proud as our girls
placed 1st and 2nd . Ms Aloha Hula 2011 is none other than Tori Hulali Canha of Halau Ke’alaokamaile, under the direction of Kumu Hula Keali’i Reichel. Just three points separated Canha from fellow Mauian and second place finisher, Manalani Mili Hokoana English, of Halau Na Lei Kaumaka O Uka. Canha racked up a total of 1071 points, followed by English with 1068 points. We are so very proud of both girls. You represented Maui well. For all of our mainland followers go to the following link and learn about one of Hawaii's greatest treasures. http://www.merriemonarch.com/
Tonight we will watch as the men and women compete in the Hula Kahiko. Saturday we will watch the Auana Hula and the award ceremony hoping that more honors come home to our island
Maui. Maui No Ka Oi
Good Luck to all competitors
