    Cottonwood AZ (February 26, 2016) – Kumu Hula (master teacher) Kehau Chrisman announces the 2016 class schedule in Beginner Hula, Hawaiian `Ukulele, and Hawaiian language. These classes are open to those who want to learn something new, have fun, and exercise, all while becoming become immersed in the culture of Hawaii. 

    20160226_Hoike-2015-Halau-GroupChrisman moved to Arizona from Hawaii, where she studied for 17 years to reach the highest rank of Hula Master (comparable to a PhD in Hula) following rigorous protocols taught by well-known and respected Hawaiian hula masters.  In 2004 she opened her hula school, Halau Hula Napuaokalei’ilima, in Cottonwood. Her students travel from Prescott, Flagstaff as well as the Verde Valley to study Hawaiian hula, ‘ukulele, language and culture.

    Kumu Kehau Chrisman says, “If hula is the ‘catch’ for drawing people in to learning what it is like to truly live ALOHA then I think hula is of immense value to Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians alike because it’s not really how well you dance hula, but how much you embrace the Hawaiian culture and participate in it that enhances your life, enriches your soul and raises you to a different level.”

    Learning to dance hula is extremely rewarding.  Here’s what some of our current students have to say: “We’re so unbelievably fortunate to have someone of Kumu’s caliber and commitment to Hawaiian culture living and teaching in the Verde Valley.”   “Come, see, and experience before you decide. It’s worth an evening to explore something that could become very meaningful to you.” “It resonates with my being.”

    New 2016 classes include:

    Beginners `Ukulele Class – Learn chords, strumming techniques, and songs from the islands.  Wednesdays from 4 to 5pm, beginning March 23, 2016 through April 13th.  Fee is $9 per class.  Bring your own `ukulele.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
