OUTDOOR CLASS
Waiʻalae Iki Park 2020

In July of 2020, the school arranged an outdoor class at Wai’alae Iki Park which was the first time the older students had seen one another in many months. The students were told to wear sneakers then eventually they changed into their ballet flats and finally pointe shoes.

A standout photo from this chapter shows Romi Beppu, the school’s artistic director, jumping high in the air. I titled this photo “Joy!” because that’s how we felt that day. My heart was so full.
