My hula journey began at the age of four with Betty Jean Lantz.  Most of my childhood years were spent studying under Robyn Lehua Ford, the kumu who honored me with my Hawaiian name, Moani Lehua.  My teen and early adulthood years were with Mary Kay Kealohilani French. Throughout my life I have danced professionally with many of the Halau that I have been a part of and also was a dancer for James "Nappy" Napoleon’s group, The Tiki Lites.  For 5 years I was the Keiki Hula teacher for Halau Hula O Moani Mokihana in Edmonds.  I am currently studying under Kumu Hula Aunty Marge Lehualani Hunt, a student of  Emma "Mama" Kahelelani Bishop and Mary Kawena Pukui.  By sharing the tradition and stylings of the above mentioned teachers, my hope is to perpetuate the hula and aloha spirit.

Me Ke Aloha Pumehana,
Krista "Moani Lehua" Espiritu
