Required Items to Bring:
- Water		Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
- Hip scarf
- long loose skirt or leggings
- halter or tank top
- sandals (or light shoes) if you want them - the floor is FILTHY! Be aware, though, that much of the hip movement in hula is facilitated through the feet, so whatever you're wearing on your feet must be VERY flexible. If you don't want to go barefoot, I recommend very light/flexible sandals.
- Yoga mat (or other excercise mat) to protect your skin and clothing from said FILTHY floor while we're doing strenth exercises and stretches.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:4303 Varsity Drive NW
From the entrance, come down the stairs, then go straight down the hall, through the set of doors to the very end and down the set of three small stairs to get to the dance studio.
