Tristan (left), a self-proclaimed hulaholic, started to dance after visiting Hawaii several years ago. He enjoys being a part of a cultural practice that has a rich history that continues to move forward. He hopes to support the perpetuation of hula and Hawaiian culture in New York as best as he can with the knowledge passed onto him by Kumu Kale Pawai.
