This is TAHTIAN dancing, and it looks wonderful. I have been teaching hula (and Tahitian) for 45 years, and these ladies have it DOWN. You don't have to be a native to do these dances -- you just have to love and respect the culture. Plus, it's great for fitness. Thank you for this video. I have to show it to my haumana. They are all over 55, and I want them to start doing this as an aerobic workout. Mahalo!
Aunty Lani, am 57 so i can be called a haumana!! Dancing has been the way i keep stress away specially in terrible moments of my marriage. It helped me to keep my spirit alive n love myself. It also keeps me fit n attractive. I love culture and dances are always part of a culture. Wish you the best with your haumanas ;) Mahalo means thank you....
Thanks for sharing! I'm an almost 50 year old Black teacher who loves dancing and has been amazed by various cultural dances all my life. From car accidents I have stiff back, hips and pelvis. This feels great, just in my bed. I can't wait to do it upright!
For those who are getting offended because it's not 'hula': it's not a traditional dance. It is HOT HULA Fitness which takes moves from all the Polynesian islands to create a new style of workout. It does wonders for your major muscle groups and it a great workout.
who cares what you call it!!! Thank you for sharing it...looks like fun! People get offended about everything...geez!! Just have some fun! I will be trying it....THANK YOU so much for sharing!
Not to be negative but it’s not a mix of all Polynesian dances...I dance hula AND tahitian and this was strictly tahitian. I get it, it’s a cute name. But it’s my culture and that’s why I’m getting offended. Cute name. But it’s not being used in the correct context. Good work though 👏🏼
@@sierrawaianu fr these people just don't get it. The workout is nice or whateva, but it's still from our Polynesian CULTURE!!! People be sayin, "who cares what it is?"....like us islanders bishhhhh😑. It's from another CULTURE. So at least respect it by calling it for what it really is. Sheesh ignorance is just taking over sis😒
@@chrisd2337 You the kind of guy that would be ok with some a**holes wearing Navajo or Cherokee war bonnets to coachella for "fun". Yeh but when ppl start demanding to take down statues of old colonialists in Jackson you the type who would get "offended".
Can everyone get a grip? The instructor never claims this is kahiko or hula auana. Like it or not, this is how the world perceives "hula" to be. This is a combination of tahitian and cook island, which is commonly referred to by many as hula. Y'all know there are commonalities between hawaiian, tahitian, and cook island hula... stop being so picky. Lets be glad she's taking our cultures to the world and to our people through positive messages of getting active and getting fit. It's really not that hard to appreciate, guys. If you wanna be picky, go over to "Island Girl Workout" videos... now those are terrible lol.
Watching this in 2 years and impressed again. So alive, positive and gracefully - I would like to have such teacher who creates such an atmosphere of joy. This is true professionalism.
Oh my gods, I love this! Since I've stumbled upon this channel three weeks ago I practice on a daily basis, and I honestly didn't expect such a big change. I bellydance for years, so I'm already familiar with many of those movements, but practicing with my knees bent really has a great impact on my thighs and glutes, which is amaaaziiinggggg! ^-^ I only struggle with the fast Ami; I'm going into walking- / 3/4 shimmy as soon as I try, but I'll keep practicing.
Oh, and by the way: All of you ladies are doing a good job and it's a pleasure to watch you dancing, but I could watch the girl with the green skirt literally for months. Her smile and her movements are candy for my eyes. :) *Lililililiiiiiii-Jip* to all of you.
I absolutely love this! I have to post assignments for distance PE and would like to add this for my students (and their family members) to try! I love the rhythm, the graceful movements, instructions and BIG SMILES. Thank you so much!
Yep, you have to tuck your tailbone so your belly can feel the shaking too. Not to lean forward but to be straighten up poster and knees bent and not to lift heels, but keep them flat or your feet flat on the floor. Shoulders should not move, but only knees and hips when it comes to shaking. Ladies are doing good. I love the posture of the dancer in the front.
This reminds me of the routines my Tahitian instructor “Aunty Carol” has is so when I first met her and began taking her classes. I miss her dearly , but will hold her in my heart forever
Starting my new routine of a short class per day using the online classes early in the morning. Join me and hopefully by January, I will keep the weight off as well as get a better core.
And you can best believe and bet your bottom dollar, that like belly dancing (which my physical therapist suggested and I’ve been indulging myself for over a decade) your thighs will be ON FIRE!! 😧🦵🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😧 And you’re squatting to totally isolate your hips and not move your upper body? At that point, your quads will jump out the window!! Belly dancing and obviously this style (as well as Caribbean and any style which does deep isolation) is an intense, very low impact full body workout…and it’s fun!! 👍👍👍 Oh and it’s good for low back issues and if you have cramps…at least belly dance kinda massages my lower abs and back while dancing….and before my shoulders and quads fall off my body and jump out the window from burning and fatigue!!
Nice.... they're Actually beginners. The instructor took the time to share the class with us . That's very encouraging to some that may have been awkward feeling to try a dance class. good Job 😊
Gosh who cares if it's hula or tahitian...just watch the damn video and move on. I dance both, and this would be a great exercise for the hips for hula and tahitian!
+millanani No...it actually can't. They are two specific cultures with different dances...it would be like saying Ballroom can be "applied" to Country dancing. Would you "care" if you thought you had purchased a filet mignon but it was really Salisbury steak?
Aloha! I agree-there's no segregation between Polynesian, Hawaiian or Tahitian. It's simply the love of the dance and the beautiful, exquisite appreciation of their sacred culture.
Wish i had a group close by to learn from. Not much island dancing going on here in MICHIGAN ... except... in my living room lol Love belly dancing too.... :)
Muy hermoso, wow 😮 lindo conocer otras culturas, las chicas contagian su sonrisa, todo el video me la pase sonriente 😄, soy Mexicana 🇲🇽y me encanto este baile 💃 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻lindas todas chicas. 😃
Hi I'm from Philippines I love watching your videos and it's so inspiring for someone like me who is fat and have big tummy. I would like to ask if it's ok also for fat /chubby woman like me to learn that?
You have to put all your weight it seems on your knees, they have to be bent the whole time! Some dancers dance for hours with their knees in a bent position! Most hula Tahitian dancers have bad knees as a result!

This hula dance fitness workout really works for me. From 165 lbs down to 116 lbs. Should give it a try to those who wants to loose weight.

Looks a hella more pleasant and easy and relaxing and non-invasive than pole dancing that's for damn sure!
When women move their hips! This is all so necessary to our feminine health strength and unity! Hope everyone is well and still doing it! 👌🍃💐
I did this workout and after a minute I wasn’t smiling at all 😂
EXACTLY
😂😂😂
I KNOW!
It ain't no joke😔😂🙌
that cracked me up. lol
I love that she used all the proper names for the moves. This group is so in sync, I love it!

I did bellydance too but then I moved to Hawai'i and fell in love with Polynesian dance! This is amazing.
Same here, I belly dance since I can remember and now move to hula. The knee bending is brutal but love it
I love the lady in green on the left hand side. You go,girl!!!
Me too, she's gorgeous!
Yeah! She caught my attention too. She's so graceful with her movements 😍
Lying on the bed and watch this
Makes it look so easy...
Go take a try......not easy at all
That’s right. :-) same
This is a work out for a 54 year old and I am loving it!
Good exercise for any age.

Такие радостные лица, балдеют от танцев, а мы деревянные хоть бы улыбнулись.
whatever it's called, they're having fun, so that's good!

Always one of my favorite dance videos- Great feeling performing this
This reminds me of the routines my Tahitian instructor “Aunty Carol” has is so when I first met her and began taking her classes. I miss her dearly , but will hold her in my heart forever
It's wonderful for beginners. Thank you verry much.
Thank you so much Ms Teacher & Lady Dancers ✌🏽 You’re all amazing 🌻😎🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

so beautiful dance! thanks for sharing it
Спасибо!!!! Супер!!!
Gosh who cares if it's hula or tahitian...just watch the damn video and move on. I dance both, and this would be a great exercise for the hips for hula and tahitian!
+Maya Illusion what do you mean by that, because there's nothing wrong with knowing things
+Maya Illusion people are getting so defensive on which kind of dance it is when this type of dance can be applied to Hawaiians and Tahitians
+millanani No...it actually can't. They are two specific cultures with different dances...it would be like saying Ballroom can be "applied" to Country dancing. Would you "care" if you thought you had purchased a filet mignon but it was really Salisbury steak?
Aloha! I agree-there's no segregation between Polynesian, Hawaiian or Tahitian. It's simply the love of the dance and the beautiful, exquisite appreciation of their sacred culture.
Wish i had a group close by to learn from. Not much island dancing going on here in MICHIGAN ... except... in my living room lol
Love belly dancing too.... :)
Muy hermoso, wow 😮 lindo conocer otras culturas, las chicas contagian su sonrisa, todo el video me la pase sonriente 😄, soy Mexicana 🇲🇽y me encanto este baile 💃 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻lindas todas chicas. 😃
Hula or Tahitian, dancer's ALWAYS wear a big smile because of their love and RESPECT for their culture!
Great instructor. Fantastic students. I wish they would appear in my local Safeway

Hi I'm from Philippines I love watching your videos and it's so inspiring for someone like me who is fat and have big tummy. I would like to ask if it's ok also for fat /chubby woman like me to learn that?

thank-you 'Ladies' that was awesome.
I read most of the comments... So what is/are the difference (s) between Hula and Tahitian dance?
I love this is there a place in winter springs florida?
Que bien bailan puede hacer una clase de principiante
Just danced woith you gals, great and fun workout, mahalo! You look great!
i tried about 2 minutes of this and i thought i was gonna die and im pretty sure i wasnt even doing it right XD
Why doesn't 24-hour fitness offer these classes anymore they were so awesome!!
Love it!!!
It’s called Tamure , and it’s Tahitian 😊
This looks pretty fun!
Is there any chance if you have bad knees you can modify it?
Sharqueen Crudup would like to hear answer. Just had both knees replaced. I want to try this soon!!
You have to put all your weight it seems on your knees, they have to be bent the whole time! Some dancers dance for hours with their knees in a bent position! Most hula Tahitian dancers have bad knees as a result!
You gals look great! I will visit again and next time I'll work out with video.
