Ka Pā Nani ‘O Lilinoe

Auntie Lilinoe Lindsey began her hula training at the age of three from her Aunty, the late, Kumu Hula Joan Lindsey, (a former honoree of EPK) and has been a lifelong dancer ever since. From its humble beginnings in 1982, the hālau has been located in the ahupua`a of Waimalu and Mānana in the moku of `Ewa. Lilinoe’s haumana (students) include keiki to kūpuna and have danced in many hula events both competitive and non-competitive throughout the islands, including the Queen Liliuokalani Keiki Hula Competition and Merrie Monarch Festival. Since the passing of Aunty Joanie, who received Moanalua Gardens Foundation’s Malia Kau Award in 2015, the hālau now includes her students.
