Nā Pualei O Likolehua prepares women, men, young adults and children to become practioners and stewards of Hawaiian culture, preserve and carry on traditions surrounding hula as a living art and dance form, be leaders in their communities, and become teachers of hula. Their mission is to maintain the cultural traditions of mele oli and mele hula by upholding the values of its protocols, to enrich the spiritual balance of oneself through discipline, and remain responsible to the ʻāina.
