  • Here we show the various hand movements that help to depict nature and tell the story of the song. Hula is fun to watch but even more fun to do. Try it and discover how much fun it is to dance the hula.

    Very beautiful! There are many videos on the foot movements, but fewer defining the lovely hand motions. I first looked at your clips 3 years ago, and recently needed to see them again. I'm so glad I managed to find them again. Thank you for sharing your story telling with the rest of us!

      How nice to have you back again, Grettajetta. I've started to put out more videos on the Hula with hand movement descriptions. I hope you enjoy watching them. Thanks for your comments and I look forward to hear more of your progress. Aloha!

    Very beautiful, and I like that you had a theme to show different elements that could be used in telling a story.
    It was good that you showed the footwork that goes with the hand movements and how they fit in the rhythm. When you showed the moon, however, your hands above your head were completely out of the picture -- cut off. I hope if you do another demo, please rehearse with the camera person and make sure that the video captures everything, from fingertips above your head to toes. Thank you.

    Mahalo plenty. I fell in love with Hawaiian language and hula dancing ever since watching Lilo and Stitch as a kid. Unfortunately, I'm a graceless fool, so I can only content myself with learning. XD

    thank you from my heart for these beautiful classes. I have been hoping to find a teacher like you. You have a lovely energy & kind way of teaching. I have always had great respect for the Hawaiian culture & people & always dreamed of learning hula. I am a yoga and sign language instructor. I have wished to truly learn hula well & bring it back to my town here in Ohio with the respect & gratitude deserving of it, & it's people & culture . Do you teach group or private classes, if my husband & I were to come to you?

    Hello from Thailand!
    Thank you so much for this video💖 Now I am having a hula dance project and have to find the meaning for each movements. This really help me and if it possible for you to tell me the movement for word 'speak', 'listen' and 'see' ?

    • @BellesHula
      @BellesHula  Рік тому +1

      Hello to you too, and thank you for watching the video. Here's how to do 'SPEAK ': touch lips very gently with one or both hands, then bring your hands, palms up, to the front, like you have an audience you are speaking to. 'LISTEN ' : cup both hands behind both ears, tilt your head a little. 'SEE ': Bring both hands to your eyes and gently wave your fingertips at the side of your eyes. Easy and simple moves, but nice. Wish you all the best!
