Joining The Halau:  If you are ready to make hula an important and ongoing part of your life, your next step is to join the Halau.  All Halau members are expected to have an increased level of commitment, appreciation, and respect for the Pacific Island cultural practices, and a willingness to learn and follow Halau protocols.  Once you feel you are ready, make an appointment for a personal interview with Ke Po'o Francesca Anching Trego.

Halau members are required to pay monthly dues that include 12 classes per month at their developmental level.  Dues are collected in the first class of each month in advance.  Advancement from one level to the next is determined by Ke Po'o Francesca according to each student's level of attainment and speed of learning.
