Welcome to my little slice of paradise!  I created California Hula Center in hopes of sharing my love for the Polynesian culture & spirit with everyone, not just my own group.  (Also because I didn't want to get a "real job" and have to wear "real shoes"! LOL)  It all started from a costume I made from my own original Tahitian more skirt and the rest is history.  This 11 year journey has been crazy awesome and I am even more excited now than I was when it first started!  I'm so excited to bring new costumes, new materials and supplies and a whole collection of aloha inspired gifts.  Stop by often.  I'm always adding fabulous stuff!

My costumes may take a little while to receive, but trust me, they are worth the wait.  I make all of the costumes myself so I can make sure nothing falls apart.  I do not use glue- hot or not hot!  Now how many companies can say that?  Not many, I'm sure.  I make quality costumes that will last for a very long time.  Everything is hand and machine sewn unless you request otherwise...but I'm not sure why you would.  I have been dancing both stage performing and competing for over 35 years.  I know what works on stage and what doesn't.  If you have an idea, but don't know where to start... just ask Auntie Mel!
