Double Dutch Divas LLC was established in 2021 by Angie Mosley, with a mission to promote the sport of Double Dutch while fostering health, fitness, and community engagement. The organization focuses on providing an inclusive environment where individuals of all ages can participate in physical activities, learn about health and wellness, and develop teamwork skills through the art of Double Dutch.

Our Double Dutch Divas enrichment program consists of gathering of youth and families for double dutch, which brings togetherness in schools and in the community. Double Dutch also improves the mind, which provides balance within the body.

It gives kids a social life that, probably for some, won't get at home.

Elias Kauhane

A true “island son”, Elias Jr. was born on the island of O’ahu and raised in the windward town of Kane’ohe. His musical influences, like many, began at home. The sweet voice of his mother singing is a cherished early memory. His father’s favorite past time was kanikapila while camping at Kahana Bay with ‘ohana and friends. Elias’ grandparents (Sam and Annie Kauhane) were well known in the early Waikiki music scene and performed with many of the greats of that golden period, such as Aunty Genoa Keawe, Marlene Sai and Sonny Chillingworth.

Elias combines his love of Hawaiian music, musical education and offers to you mele that were dear to his mother, Elizabeth Carmen Kanohohookahi Ako. Although she has passed from this life, her ‘uhane remains and this music keeps us connected.
