KUMU LAHELA SPENCER
Lahela Spencer was born and raised in Kona, Hawaiʻi and began studying hula as a young child. Through hula, the skill of lei making, the knowledge of plants, and the environment in which we share enhanced her skills and developed a passion. Her commitment to hula has culminated into the formal rite of ʻūniki as a Kumu Hula. Kumu Lahela is the Kumu Hula of Kaleiokaulupalai, a hālau hula based in Waimea, Hawaiʻi. She has spent 20 years as a professional entertainer in Hawaiʻi and has been fortunate to travel the world in this profession. Lahela has also been in the hospitality industry for over 10 years and currently serves as a cultural specialist on the island of Hawaiʻi.
