Kā.pili
To build, fit together, set (as precious stones) join, or unite.
February 20 – 21st, 2016
The Kāpili Polynesian Dance and Music Workshops are a
gathering of students of Polynesian cultural arts who will join together with kumu hula, artistic directors, musicians and artisans willing to share their talent and aloha.
Our workshops are structured to encourage the student
to go deeply into their chosen topic through directed
study with a single master teacher for a full weekend of
instruction.
We are honored and excited to bring together a community of culture-bearers who will guide you, the student, on a journey of artistic discovery.
We are also delighted to announce that the Kāpili 
Polynesian Dance and Music Workshops has just been recognized and supported by a grant from the Alliance for California Traditional Arts Living Cultures Grants Program!
