I love this photo of my beautiful neice - after her graceful performance for the solo competition at the 2004 Queen Lili'uokalani Keiki Hula Competition. She dances with Halau Hula 'o Kamuela under the direction of Kumu Hula Kau'i Kamana'o. Her performance of Mele O Ke Ke'ena Kalaunu won over the audience and the judges top scores earning her the title of Miss Keiki Hula 2004. Paoa - all of your hard work and dedication and your love for our native art has only shown Hawaii Nei the beautiful soul that we already know. with love and aloha - aunty yvette
