Highly recommended. This year was my first, I will be back and I will bring more people with me next year!
We are now accepting applications to appear at the 2026 Allegheny Ukulele Soirée. Apply Here!
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!

- 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.
