Highly recommended. This year was my first, I will be back and I will bring more people with me next year!
Students will learn the folk dance of our 50th state, the Hula. Simple steps and hand motions will combine to tell a story.
Instructor Debi Velasco will supply written instructions to each dancer. Students will perform the song they have learned at the Saturday evening concert!

Skill Levels
- Novice: A student who perhaps has never picked up a ukulele before.
- Beginner: A student at this level is brand-new to the ukulele. He/she has perhaps learned one to three chords but stops in-between chord changes to move the fingers to the next location.
- Advanced/Confident Beginner: A student at this level knows a handful of chords and can move from one chord to another without pausing. Student may have trouble with, say, the B-flat chord shape. Student has learned a strum or two and/or a finger pattern for picking.
- Intermediate: A student can hold a steady rhythm and is competent with a variety of basic chords. Understands simple chord progressions, can sing and strum at the same time, and learns chords to simple tunes fairly quickly.
- Advanced: A student at this level can hear I, IV, and V chords, has mastered some chord inversions, knows there is life above the fifth fret, and has been there with barre or 4-fingered closed chords. Plays lead and backup easily with others and keeps steady rhythm.
