The Back Story:
E Hula Mau! - Let the Hula Live On!
“Hula is the language of the heart and therefore the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people.”
Reflecting many of the central ideas and events of Hawaiian history, the hula is a focal point of Hawaiian culture. Without a written language, Hawaiians used the hula and its accompanying chants as talking books of history, genealogy, and communication. Hula is sometimes described as the soul of Hawaii expressed in motion. No one knows its exact origins but Hawaiians agree that the first hula was performed by a god or goddess which makes the dance a sacred ritual. Every movement in hula has a specific meaning, and every expression of the dancer’s hands has great significance.
