Hula

Hula dancing is a traditional Hawaiian art form. I went to a Hula festival held at Moanalua Gardens. Hula is very rhythmic and includes singing, dancing, as well as the playing of instruments. The dances require precise hand and foot motions that have metaphorical meanings. The costumes are colorful and elaborate. Supposedly, the hula performances tell a complete story. Unfortunately,since I don’t understand Hawaiian, I don’t recognize the stories. However, the performances are still very moving.
