Who We Are

Picture
​We are Hālau Kalama, a Polynesian cultural organization in Aurora, Colorado.   We are a non-profit organization with a mission to educate and promote the art of Polynesian music, language and dance to all.  Together, members of Hālau Kalama collaborate and strive to entertain as well as enlighten all communities who wish to experience the “Aloha Spirit.  

Back in 2007, we started with only 3 members and now we have 80+ and still growing, ranging from ages as young as 3 to over 50 years old. As a non-profit organization 501(c)(3), Hālau Kalama provides discounted dance instruction to those who wish to learn and embrace the Polynesian culture.  We also volunteer performing at various community events and retirement homes/assisted living facilities, as well as for other non-profit organizations such as The Ronald McDonald Home & Food Bank of The Rockies.   Additionally, Hālau Kalama offers an ‘Ohana Kokua Program (‘Ohana meaning ‘Family’ and Kokua meaning ‘Help’) for those who are in need of any type of assistance (e.g. financial, food, etc.).


Our Founder



​Glenda Florez is the founder of Hālau Kalama. Her vision was to be able to teach the art of Polynesian Dance to everyone at a discounted and affordable rate. She also wanted to share the Culture through music and dance to other Nonprofit Organizations and Events throughout the Community. Glenda continues to support Hālau Kalama by providing classes and entertainment with her students in exchange for assistance in studio rental so that the Community can enjoy dance at the lowest rates possible.
