Soon after we were asked if we might teach this group on a bi-weekly basis and we agreed to work out a program and schedule to try this out over the next three months. Here was the birth of our Halau Hei. As we progressed from session to session it became apparent that na keiki (the children) were truly interested and capable of doing the work involved. During the quarter the group grew and drop-ins became frequent. As the quarter drew to a close we were asked to continue on a weekly basis to which we agreed and the pace quickened. The Ho‘ike at the end of the quarter found the haumana (students) capable of understanding, teaching and performing 30 Hei patterns.
