My first hula class, It's cute and I love it!! This professional lady teaches hula dance for 33 years. She is so energetic!
It's full of native elements including songs, dancing, especially hands, body movements, feet... All represent the culture of Polynesians who originally settled here.
"Hula dancing is a complex art form, and there are many hand motions used to represent the words in a song or chant. For example, hand movements can signify aspects of nature, such as the swaying of a tree in the breeze or a wave in the ocean, or a feeling or emotion, such as fondness or yearning. Foot and hip movements often pull from a basic library of steps including the kaholo, ka'o, kawelu, hela, 'uwehe, and 'ami."
