There are also mini-captions if you leave your mouse cursor over an image.

I look a bit confused here.

I volunteered myself for audience participartion...

First hula... actually, Tahitian. Six years old.

Having fun, waiting for my turn to go up and dance.

Well, here I'm actually dancing.

Attempting to follow along with some Tahitian dancing.

Guess which one I am? :)

I even got a picture with the dancers.

Yes, I'm wearing a swimsuit under that shirt.

My second time dancing, we came back for another show.

This is hula now, not Tahitian. And that's my brother next to me on the far left.

My first luau, learning the "Hukilau."

After my first competition, 2000.

Here I am at 9 years old, first year at the Ia 'Oe E Ka La Hula Festival.

My competition team, after we performed.

Our happy group photo after performing.

The team again, a more formal picture.

I think I was the youngest (and the shortest) on the team...

Kumu Keala Ching, Kumu Kaui, Kanoe, and me, after our competition in 2001.

This is after our second year at the Ia 'Oe E Ka La Hula Festival, with my Kumu (teacher) Kaui, her daughter, Kanoe, and Kumu Kaui's teacher, Kumu Keala.

At the George Naope Hula Festival in 2002, I'm on the far left.

We're dancing "Ula Noweo," a hula kahiko.

Isn't this picture cool? I thought so too.

Here, I'm in the back of the farthest line.

At the Sounds of Hawaii 2003, with famous chef Sam Choy.

We performed our competition hula, "Kaulana O Kohala," which uses the pu'ili (bamboo stick implement). We're with Sam Choy, the famous chef.

Dancing with swaying skirts.

I'm on the left of the front row at the Sounds of Hawaii Festival in 2003.

Here's some Tahitian dancing, see how much our skirts move?

This is Tahitian dancing, that's me on the far left.

Our competition team, 2003, ready before performing.

Waiting for our turn to perform our fourth year at the Ia 'Oe E Ka La Hula Festival.

My last competition, 2003. Twelve years old, last year in the keiki group anyways.

Here I am, ready to dance!

On stage at the competition, being watched by the judges.

Performing at the competition, I'm the second from the left.
