Hālau Hula I Ka Lā

Nestled in Toronto, Hālau Hula I Ka Lā is a vibrant hula school dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii. Founded by Kumu Joanne Vicencio, this institution has been teaching the traditional art of dance for over twelve years, fostering a warm and inclusive environment where students of all ages can explore the embodied storytelling of Hawaiian culture. Through both kahiko (traditional) and ʻauana (modern) styles, Hālau Hula I Ka Lā emphasizes respect, laughter, and community, ensuring that every class begins with oli (a chant asking permission to enter the dance) and ends with mahalo (thank you). By learning Hawaiian language and protocol, students not only master the art of hula but also gain a deeper appreciation for its cultural significance. Join Hālau Hula I Ka Lā to experience the warmth of the Aloha spirit and the joy of movement that comes from dancing under the sun at the source of life.
