Founder and Kumu Hula (hula teacher) Kekoa Yap is
a major contributor in perpetuating and preserving
the native Hawaiian Culture through hula, formal
education and training in the disciplines of traditional
Hawaiian hula, including dance, music, language,
values, traditions, history, arts and crafts. It is from
our kupuna (ancestors) that we continue their legacy
in keeping the culture preserved, which is the drive
behind Kumu Kekoa.
