We are an award-winning, Polynesian performance arts school located at Aloha Studio in San Ramon, California. Led by Kumu Catherine Kau‘ilaniokalaua‘e Harrill Kailimai and Karl Michael Ha‘aheo Blankenship, Nā Hula ‘O Moku’āina a me Motu’āina has worked to preserve and uplift the Hawaiian and Tahitian cultures, teaching dance and music in the East Bay for more than 30 years. Nā Hula ‘O Moku‘āina Kūhai Hālau is the Hawaiian name for Aloha Studio’s dance performance troupe; Motu‘āina is the Tahitian name. Together with Karl Michael Ha‘aheo Blankenship, Kumu Catherine has choreographed dances, designed costuming, and composed musical arrangements that have won numerous awards and been featured in exciting performances over the years.
