Living the Arts
Author:Erna Woo
URL:www.ernawoo.com
Summary:Cotton, E. (personal communication, July 30, 2006). Dance Instructor. Erna Woo has a rich Hawaiian hula lineage that was passed down from her mother who was a professional “Kumu Hula” or master hula instructor. Erna is also proficient in Oriental dance, or Belly Dancing, which she has pursued for over thirty years as a performer, teacher, and producer. The classes that she offers cover all levels of dance proficiency, and would be appropriate for beginning dancers. In her teaching she stresses the historical, spiritual, and metaphysical aspects of the dances. The classes that she currently offers are Keiki Hula, Classic Belly Dance, Beginners Hula, and adult Hula through Halau Kameleokalani. Having taken her beginning Belly Dance course, I learned about posture, body alignment, costuming, rhythms, the language of that dance, execution of movements, and an appreciation for other cultures and their expression of dance and music. She offers her classes in Bellingham, Washington, and she also travels to performances and teaches at workshops both nationally and internationally. For further information you may visit her website at ernawoo.com. These classes would be beneficial for any age that is interested in starting a dance program or for dancers that would like to integrate this dance form into their repertoire.
