E kuhikuhi pono i na au iki a me na au nui o ka ʻike
(Instruct well in the little and the large currents of knowledge)
- Mary Kawena Pukui
Each of these individuals worked tirelessly to select every song, thoughtfully choreograph each piece down to every lyric, and teach dances to groups of up to 35 performers. A round of applause for our Kumu!
