RHODE ISLAND HULA TROUPE INVITED TO PERFORM AT THE WORLD INVITATIONAL HULA FESTIVAL

Napua O’ Polynesia, of Providence, RI, (www.tropicalisland-dancers.com) has been invited to perform at the World Invitational Hula Festival, Honolulu, Hawaii (www.worldhula.com). They will perform with her sister halau hula (hula school)—Kalena, of Glendale, AZ (www.tropicalpolynesianproductions.com). Napua O’ Polynesia will represent Rhode Island. Kalena will represent Arizona. Kalena and Carolyn are both honored to have been given this opportunity to perform.

The World Invitational Hula Festival will take place November 10-12, 2011. This unique festival is an on-going celebration of Hawaiian culture, art, history, language, and relationship to all natural things in the Hawaiian Environment. Their goal is to to offer an opportunity for those away from Hawai`i to return and become "one" with halau (hula groups) from Hawai`i in the true feeling of 'ohana (family). To renew an appreciation of what it is to be Hawaiian conservators of the 'aina (land) and all that makes it bountiful, and to appreciate the universal need to preserve, protect, and enhance our 'aina and culture as treasures in our keeping.

NaPua O’ Polynesia is looking for sponsors and/or donations to help them get to Hawaii. You may find more detailed information on both websites: www.tropicalisland-dancers.com and www.tropicalpolynesianproductions.com website, about sponsorship programs.
