I saw a dancer on Youtube with an enchanting style of movement but I'm not sure of the name. It's really fast-paced. I think it's usually done for special guests. It seemed moreso for adults.

Aloha ! I hope you are all doing well. I have a question that I would love to hear other folks thoughts on.

I have been in a hula school for about 5 years now and moved away about 2 years ago but continued online. I really miss dancing in person so I decided to join a new halau where I live currently. 

Do you have any thoughts on the proper way to say thank you and transition to a new hula school?

So far, since I can’t talk to my old teacher in-person, I sent her a long email saying how much I love the group and my gratitude for being part of the group. I also shared that my new teacher would like to talk to her if she wants to talk.

I know I’m just one person and not that important lol, but I want to make sure to be respectful and do things properly, so I would appreciate anything you share
