Over 2,000 miles off the coast of California is the 50th state, Hawaii. A big culture in Hawaii is hula. Hula is a form of dance that has been practiced and performed for centuries. Hula is done with either chanting (also known as oli) or singing. (also known as mele) This type of dance involves motions to help give a visual of what the oli or mele is talking about.

Others who are not natives of Hawaii or have never danced, probably understand how hard it actually is. The hula steps can be very easy or very hard. One of the most basic steps includes swaying called vamping. A whole hula dance can be a big workout. Dancers compare hula to an athletic performance.

I learned that the people that created this don't know who created the hula. The person who made it was the goddess of hula named Hopoi. I think hula is great because it helps Hawaiians remember our culture.

I learned that hula was a pretty sacred dance. It was sacred because it is beleived that the gods created hula. Both men and women would do the hula because it was ceremonial.

Hula can be accompanied by ukuleles, drums, or even guitars. It mostly consisted of swaying and hand and feet motions. It would take lots of practice to learn hula. Not everyone could become a hula dancer, you had to be selected by the kumu.

Hula can explain many things, like how the islands came to be, the gods, and many more things. They would use their hands and feet to give them a picture.

Hula dancers would usually wear leis. Girls would wear skirts and boys would wear loincloths. They would also wear ankle and wrist bracelets.

I feel that hula is very important because it symbolizes our culture. It also keeps our culture preserved.

Hula is an interpretive dance developed by the Polynesians. no one knows how it really got started, though there are some legends about deities like Pele. Hula is scared to the Hawaiians, and it has been growing for years. It can be practiced with instruments. I think that hula should be practiced and passed down.

I think that the author of this article got the concept of hula. I understood and agreed with a majority of it.

I watched this video and I thought about how hard it must have been to learn hula and how hard it was to teach it too. I also thought about how complicated it must've been to come up with movements that could tell stories. I think if I had to come up with movements for a hula, I would totally fail. I think what the video could improve on is how the video was just a dance and the words were at the bottom. Maybe you could say the words in the video and show the hula with a little softer volume.

Sometimes ukulele, guitar, uli uli, and much more. There not sure who introduced hula but they think it's the Polynesians.

Hula is a important and sacred dnce to hawaiians. It tells a story or a legend through motions. Hula is usually done with mele or oil. In hawaiian culture there are many legends that tell how hula might of been created. Many people believe that hula was done by Polynesians.

You need to listen to the person who is Calling the kahea.

Hulas orgin was in the big island. The Polynesians(First people on the hawaiian islands) was the first people to do hula. Hula was a big part of the Hawaiian islands as well as the Hawaiian culter. Hula is made out of some complex and some easy steps.

I thought that the video was just general, nothing new, but the article was good. I thought that they had most of their facts right, but I have to agree with Kaʻimi. They said they didn't know who started hula, but we know that it was Hopoi. I was kind of confused because I learned some new stuff, and I'm Hawaiian. 😟 I think that they got the idea of hula right, but I think they could have added some examples of hula, mele, and oli.

I think that to kind of engage their audience a little bit more, they could have made the video a whole bunch of slides of people doing hula steps. I thought that their explanation of why hula is important to Hawaiians was dead-on, though.

Hula is more then just a dance to Hawaiians. It is a tradition to Hawaiians. It is a tradition to Hawaiians because it could be pass down in their families.

The video didn't really teach me anything because I really knew about all that. I like how it shared about the history of hula.

My opinion is that this article was good but I kind of knew about most of the facts.

Hula is sacred to hawaiians. Hula was always practiced in hawaii often. Hula was made by Hopoi. People say hula was actually made up by Pele or Laka but, it was acually made up by Hopoi until she turned into stone. She is the original creator.

Their facts is wrong because we know who made up hula

I this video it showed all the hula steps and dances I learned in kumu Crabbes class. The vinega aouli he perfect for people who come from the mainland and never heard of or saw people dance hula. This hula video was a reminder for me because he haven't been practicing these steps. The video explained how to do and what the steps are called.

The video really didn't teach me anything new beacuse I all ready learned all this stuff before. The article was really good refresher beacuse we don't reveiw them a lot in class or at Hawaiian with Kumu Crabbe. I liked how that video shared the history of hula and something made up. It also shared how complicated it can be if you decide to try it out.

In conclusion or my thoughts is that this video is great if I was to rate this video I would rate and 5 out of 5 stars. The article was very informative and most importantly the truth, sure they left out some facts out. Atleast they didn't make something up or tel, a lie. If you want to learn about hula I recommend this to people who want to learn hula. It's harder than it looks.

Hula is very important to Hawaiians.

It is more than just a dance. There

Are legends on how legends started.

Hula is very sacred to us Hawaiians.

Some of the Hawaiian words like Me-

le or ami was pronounced like meal

or Amy. Many other words were pro-

nounced wrong like Hawaiʻi, Kahiko,

and kaʻo. My opinion is that this article

Was very good but the pronounciation

bothered me. I think that someone sh-

ould record themself talking and then

Put it on so the pronunciation is right.
