Hawaiian Dance & Lei Making

Hawaiian Dance & Lei Making

Join AARP Oregon for a presentation with Akiko Colton, Kumu Hula with the Halau Hula o Na Pua o Hawai'i Nei school.

Join AARP Oregon and attendees from across the U.S. for a free virtual event with the Lehigh County Historical Society on Tuesday, February 17, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. 

AARP membership is not required.

In this presentation, She'll teach a few simple steps to a traditional dance and lead a lei-making demonstration.

From dance to lei-making, Hawaiians use tradition to learn about themselves and connect the past and future. There will be a lei of fresh flowers and a candy lei made during the demonstration. If you wish to follow along and make your own during the demonstration, a list of materials is provided below and will be in the registration confirmation email.

Hope to see you there!
