Your family, in the moment
Who can book private hula classes on Maui?
Our Maui hula classes are booked for your invited participants. A family reunion, birthday, wedding gathering, or company retreat can bring guests together for an introduction to hula at the property you arrange with us.
Tell us who wants to learn, the children’s ages, your Maui address, and the time available. Hawaii Luau Company discusses the instructor, lesson material, approved space, and group price with you before confirming the session.
A guest’s Wailea lesson
A lesson first. A different perspective that evening.
“Taking a lesson on a day prior to our luau made that experience even more enjoyable!”
Tonya describes a lesson for her adult daughters at their Wailea hotel. Her review connects learning hula with enjoying the following lūʻau.

From watching the hands to understanding the gesture.
Give the movement a meaning
Ask about the words and story connected to the material you are learning. Following an idea can feel very different from trying to copy a pair of hands.
Watch your next performance differently
A lesson can give you new things to notice at a lūʻau: the expression, the timing, the way a group moves together. You do not need to master a dance to begin paying closer attention.
A little context for your first lesson
Beginner hula classes on Maui: a few words worth knowing.
If you have searched for Hawaiian dance lessons, you may have come across kahiko, ʻauana, and keiki. Here is how those words can help you ask about the private lesson you want.
Kahiko and ʻauana
Kahiko refers to older styles; ʻauana describes modern hula. These labels help visitors orient themselves, but hula has continued to change across generations. Ask which material your instructor proposes for your Maui session.
Basic hula steps, with a story to follow
For a beginner, the useful question is not how quickly you can finish a dance. It is how a step, a gesture, and a musical phrase belong together. Tell us if you would like an introduction to Hawaiian hula dancing before your next performance outing.
Keiki hula and family learning
Looking for hula lessons for children on Maui? Keiki means children. Share their ages and whether the adults want to join, so we can discuss a private family session. We confirm suitability for your group when you call.
Bring the lesson to your stay
West Maui or the South Shore? Start where you are.
There is no need to choose a class across the island before checking what can be arranged at your property. Tell us the address and the space you have in mind.
West Maui
Hula lessons in Kaʻanapali, the Lahaina area & Kapalua
A hotel or timeshare can be your group’s meeting point as well as its home base. For a Kaʻanapali stay, ask the property which space you can use for outside instruction. For the Lahaina area or Kapalua, send the actual address when you call.
We agree on the meeting point and access before confirming the lesson.
South Maui
A private hula class in Wailea or Mākena
A private lesson can sit comfortably between the day’s plans and an evening celebration. For a Wailea resort or a Mākena home, start with who is joining and when everyone will be at the property.
If a hotel coordinator is helping with your stay, include them when agreeing on the practice space.
South Maui
Family hula lessons in Kīhei
Friends staying in separate Kīhei accommodations can nominate one shared meeting place. Count the dancers first, then check that the proposed area gives the whole group room to move.
Use an approved space at the property; shared lawns are not automatically included with a room booking.

Call (888) 582-8858 to plan your lessonMaui’s living hula community
Hula here continues long after the visitors go home.
Maui’s hula life includes generations of practice and community gatherings. One example is Kū Mai Ka Hula: the competition took that name in 2006 under Hōkūlani Holt, carrying forward an event begun by kumu hula Akoni Akana in 2000. It includes both kahiko and ʻauana performances.
That is a useful thought to bring into a first lesson. The dance you encounter on vacation belongs to an ongoing tradition. Listen closely, ask what the material means, and give yourself permission to be a beginner.
