Hula Kahiko, ancient hula (dance) - Jun Hasegawa (dancer)

Many hula dances are considered to be a religious performance, as they are dedicated to, or honoring, a Hawaiian goddess or god.

From my experience teaching hula in several different countries and to several different age groups she is not that bad. Yes she is a little stiff in some areas, however, overall her presentation and intensity is spot on. This is an intense hula not an ego hula like some may suggest. Nicely done... work on fluidity a little more and you will do great. Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing our culture in a POSITIVE way and form. Aloha

Je decouvre et je pense au haka des maoris avec lev hula Hawaïen...intéressant j'aimerais bien suivre un cours...mais où ?

[DonnaBarrHerself]

May I respectfully ask what is being said in the language of the dance?

AWESOME PRAYER DANCE. Replace the vid guy cause he missed a lot of full body movement; therefore complete body motion prayers. There should be a camera for closeups & 3 vid camers placed at triangular locations with d dancer in d center for full body motion recording. It made d event less spectacular n unprofessional.

I met aunty pualani she's an awesom woman and an excellent kumu hula but don't ask a Japanese to be gracious and delicate isn't in their nature

Танец не очень. У женщины движения унылые. Мужчины лучше исполняют танцы хула и кахико

Next time make sure that you film the ENTIRE body! This was a waste, and did no service to this chant.

This is a terrible video. Hula is about the communication of the dance, not the ego of the performer.

[junep]

can you explain the dance meaning? seems like having a lot of meaning for some ceremony. I love her eye expression.
