Hula Kahiko: Featuring: Hālau Nāwehiokaipoaloha under the direction of Kumu Ipolei Lindsey-Asing
Originally from the uplands of Haleakalā on the island of Maui, Kumu Ipolei Lindsey-Asing completed the rigorous training of ʻūniki under her Kumu Hula, Nāpua Silva, and was recognized and accepted as one of three new Kumu Hula in July, 2021. In January 2023 in ʻŌlaʻa, Hawaiʻi, Hālau Nāwehiokaipoaloha officially held the very first papa hula for keiki, ʻōpio and wāhine.
