Hālau Ka Lehua Pua Kamaehu
Dedicated to perpetuating the legacy of Kumu Hula Johnny Lum Ho.
E ola nō ʻoe a mau loa i loko o kuʻu puʻuwai…
Forever you will live inside of my heart.
Hālau Ka Lehua Pua Kamaehu was founded in 2022 by nā Kumu Hula, Kasie Puahala Kaleohano and Brandi Nohelani Barrett.
The hālau, which is proudly located in Hilo, is dedicated to perpetuating the legacy of the late Kumu Hula, Johnny Lum Ho for which both kumu were long-time dancers & alaka`i.
Hālau Ka Lehua Pua Kamaehu has both kāne and wāhine students ranging in age from 4 to 80+. The hālau was fortunate to participate in the annual Merrie Monarch Hula Competition in 2023 and 2024 and looks forward to cultivating a new generation of lehua.
