What is Hula?
Hula is the traditional dance of the Hawaiian people, mainly using fluid movements of the hands, hips, and steps. For Hawaiians, Hula was the way their ancestors told stories of legends, history, gods, nature, rivers, and mountains before written language existed.
The Hula dance is accompanied by song (mele) or chant (oli). There are many forms of Hula, ranging from ancient dances used in religious ceremonies to modern ones performed for entertainment.
