With sandy beaches, gentle ocean waves, and swaying hips, Lani teaches the basic hand motions, footwork, and storytelling gestures that make hula so special. Young readers discover that every movement has meaning—and that dance is a way to share aloha.

In Learn to KAHIKO with Lani, the journey goes deeper into the powerful and traditional style of hula kahiko.
