I showed this video for my university english class about polynesian dance. I go to school in texas, being a local boy and possibly the only polynesian kid in my school, i was so proud of being a polynesian, the whole class was amazed at this video...even though Im samoan and have no idea what their saying I was proud of showing people what hula was really about!
There is a Hawaiian lady in my area that bellydances in addition to being fairly accomplished in her hula. I thought it was a weird mix since the Middle East is SO far from Hawai'i, but lots of the movements are really similar. Bellydancers do a welina movement, but theirs is rapidly successive instead and is used as the main movement instead of an accent like the welina. Oh, and I love how this halau often with exits with a simple "E". It's very feminine and a little mysterious.
How are you gonna compete against dem? Dey gooood! Don't know about Hula, but the step they were doing..I mean, really, how do you compete against that? Very Nice!
I spotted a girl in the 2nd row with what seemed like she had the shortest hair of the halau. Probably means she is a newbie; what an honor that she gets to dance in the 2nd row and perhaps hasn't danced there as long as the others.

The girl in the second row (with the shortest hair) was dancing with that halau since she was 4 for about 10 years.
