How did the hula begin?
There are many dances around the world. Each of
them has a unique background. Here, let's look at three
styles of dancing: the hula, Irish dance,
breakdancing.
and
The first dance is the hula in Hawaii. It comes from
the indigenous religion there. In ancient Hawaii, people
showed their respect for gods by dancing. They also
danced to pass on important values from generation to
generation. That was because they had no formal
writing system at the time. In other words, the hula
was more than a leisure activity.
In the hula, dancers use their hands to express
G
emotions and things in nature. The dancers believe
that they can communicate various messages through
