for the next couple of weeks! We need to show mainstream dancers that we can be just asgood, even in a different genre!

Entries have closed, but we have purchased a few extra spots. We encourageanyone who still feels the desire to compete to pay their $11 to us ASAP. First

CURRICULUMWe have finished our Hawaiian Oli E Pele E Pele and are now working on our Kahiko Aia La

o Pele. We have completed the actions to the 2nd verse and the words to the 3rd verse. Make sure to

have the words to the 3rd verse MEMORIZED as we will only learn the actions to the 3rd verse, once

the majority of you have done so. PLEASE USE THE CLASS page on the HEILANI WEBSITE as

a tool to practice (the words and music are both on there). We have also learned two new Tahitian

Oteas which will be included in the BPAC competition.

PERFORMANCE TEAMWe have three performances coming up for the rest of this month, before BPAC in June. We will

be using these performances as rehearsals for the competition. We will be performing the Tahitian

Program this Tuesday at the Ethnic Awards at Logan Entertainment Centre. This will be the

PERFECT opportunity for us to figure out our staging for the competition (as it will be on the same

stage). If you are performing for any of the events this month, please let us know and dont forget to

bring EVERYTHING: Black boob tube (all girls doing Tahitian)

RECIPE OF THE MONTH

Spam Musubi

A favourite Hawaiian Snack

Ingredients

4 cups uncooked Japanese rice

4 cups water

5 sheets sushi-nori (seaweed)

1 can SPAM or SPAM Lite

Furukaki

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup rice wine (mirin)

Cooking Instructions

Cook rice in rice cooker. If no rice cooker is

available, put rice and water into a large

heavy saucepan. Heat water and rice until

boiling then immediately turn down and simmer for approximately 20-25 mins. or until soft and water is evaporated. Boil soy

sauce, sugar and rice wine. After it boils, turn off flame. Cut SPAM into 1/4 in. wide slices. Fry in pan. Soak fried SPAM in soy

sauce mixture. Line a musubi maker with sushi nori so that both sides stick straight up. Spread cooked rice across bottom of

musubi maker, on top of nori - 1/4 inch high. Sprinkle furukaki on top of rice. Place two pieces of SPAM in musubi maker on

top of rice. SPAM should cover most of the length of the musubi maker. Spread more cooked rice on top of spam - 1/4 in. high.

Sprinkle furukaki on top of rice. Fold over one side of the nori. Use musubi maker insert to press down on top of nori, rice and

SPAM. Fold over other side of nori and press down. Remove musubi log from maker. Cut each log into four pieces.
