Kainani Kealoha

Telling the story with graceful movement and hula hands, Wainani has always loved dancing. For many years on the Big Island she danced with the hula school, Halau Na Lei O Ka Holoku, led by Kumu Hula Nani Lim Yap and Leialoha Amina. She traveled nationally and internationally with Lim’s Halau sharing hula with the world while developing her talent in dance, chanting, and Hawaiian culture. On Maui she danced for many years at the Royal Lahaina Resort as a soloist and as an Oli Mea (chanter) for Maui Nei Cultural Walking Tour. She began as the principal dancer for George Kahumoku’s Hawaiian Country Music Show in Branson, Missouri in 2012 and ever since has been an important part of our Slack Key Show.
