  • Level two students are those who have already completed two songs in the 10am class. Level 2 students can pay $50/month in advance (discounted from drop-in rate).

    If you’re Level 2, you can join the Level 1 series for just $10 more per month ($60/month total) and enjoy both Level 1 + 2 classes whenever you’d like during the series which ends in October. When making your payment please note that you’re Level 2. Or email me that you’ve made a Level 2 payment.

    If you prefer to remain doing drop ins for Level 2 classes only, you can still pay for $15 drop ins.

  • The Facebook Page is the best place to stay up to date on classes, workshops, events, song translations, and community gatherings. It’s where I’ll be sharing announcements, behind-the-scenes moments, and everything happening within our hula community.

    Our original Facebook Group is still open as a community space for conversation and connection, but all official updates and class information will now be shared through the Facebook Page moving forward.

  • Once I receive your payment (with your name & email in the Venmo/CashApp/Zelle note), I’ll send you a confirmation email within 24 hours. That email will include your official registration confirmation, the studio address, a few notes for the first class, and the way to access to practice videos as they become available.

    You’ll also be added to the class update list so you stay informed about any changes or extra resources throughout the series.

    Just show up a few minutes early on September 5th ready to learn and move — everything else is taken care of. If you don’t hear from me within a day, feel free to email me at michelleehartley@gmail.com and I’ll take care of it right away.
