Welcome to our ʻohana—we’re so glad you’re here.

Aloha kākou!
Aloha, my name is Andrea Kamalani Luchese. I’ve been teaching hula since 2003 and have served as a kumu hula since 2014. My training includes years of study with Kumu Raylene Haʻalelea Kawaiaeʻa and Kumu Keala Ching. I am based in Kohala on Hawaiʻi Island, where I teach in person, and also maintain an in person hula school in southern Oregon, where I continue to teach and return regularly. I created the online community of Ha’a Hula ‘Ohana to bridge the traditions of hula with the magic of the online space, sharing the heart of Hawaiian culture with all who feel called to learn. For me, hula is a powerful medium through which we connect with the true essence of aloha—bringing us into greater kinship with nature, spirit, and each other. If you’re looking for a supportive community where you can experience the beauty and depth of hula, I warmly welcome you to come dance with us and hope to see you in an online class!
What Our Students Say
"Kumu Andrea's class is more than just learning how to dance hula. It embraces the mind-body-soul connection of the Hawaiian culture. Kumu Andrea shares her heartfelt love of the Aloha Spirit, lineage and traditions. You don't just connect with the song or story... you get introduced to the culture’s connection to Oneness. Each day I can feel myself transform and expand into who I am meant to be in this life. My heart and soul are full. Besides that my body feels amazing!"
"I'm loving these classes so much, and I really find healing and inspiration in hula and Hawaiian culture. I've been practicing the dances (which is so fun) and the chants--and it all makes me so happy! I love the hula, the songs, the sentiment, the positivity, the community - all of it! Thank you so much for making these online hula classes available!" ~ Moyra
"I have been to O'ahu and other Hawaiian islands before, but oh my was this visit something else! I felt so whole and part of the community. I thought of you and our class and how special and more meaningful this trip was this time around since I had expanded my knowledge of Hawaiian culture through hula. I truly felt the spirit of Aloha!... I am so grateful for your vision to build this online community." ~ Justine
"You are a fantastic teacher. You break things down so clearly. And you add so much context and content to the hulas. Doing a conscious regular kilo practice has been life-changing for me and for my husband. It’s been a stepping stone to beginning to embody the idea of having non-human relatives.” ~ Rachel
"Mahalo nui loa for another awesome session of Ha'a Hula classes. I feel so blessed to be learning from you. Your classes have been so therapeutic to me. Despite my poor memory, I truly love dancing with our Zoom class." ~ Norine
