When my family moved to Hawaii, I was a little girl. Our neighbor became our babysitter and she taught Hula dance to us and I absolutely loved it. My time in Hawaii was wonderful, many wonderful memories.
@@Manoatevarua Samoans are Polynesian, yes, as per the description. But the dance at 1.25 is not Samoan. Samoans don’t sway their hips like that. Could be Tahitian too but definitely not Samoan.
@Dominique Lavalle so 35 seconds in? Black feathers or what appeared to be feathers? I had to rewatch since I made my original comment SEVEN YEARS ago. Please "enlighten" me as to how my comment offended you? Was it the word skirt? That's the only word I knew at the time to describe what I saw? Hostile much? Why don't you educate me? I'm not from Polynesia so if there is something I don't understand please tell me.
@Dominique Lavalle I'm not sure which idiot you are referring to, or which profile. I don't see anything. I'm sorry you are an angry broken human. People who are whole and happy and self-possessed don't go around handling issues this way. I hope you find what it is you are looking for. I'm not available for this sort of nonsense. Bye.
A hearty Mahalo to those who appreciate this video. To those who seek absolute perfection... we offer this: Although Hula is distinctively Hawaiian, there is a commonality to all Polynesian Dance. There is really nothing incorrect or misleading in our title or description...Folks may choose to bitterly correct what they think needs correcting... but at least have the respect to enjoy the entire video for what it is and not what you think is should be. Make you own videos if you are so inclined.
+Xavier Frosth - Aloha from Hawaii! The name for the business was based on a 2 month trip to the Kenai Peninsula and other destinations in Alaska and BC. We first named our beloved chocolate lab Kenai, and then used the name for the business almost 20 years ago. When we relocated to Maui, i thought there may be a reference in the Hawaiian language to Kenai, but have not found one. There is a peninsula on the North Shore of Maui called Keanae, thats as close as I have found.
Aloha e Aumakua! A'o i ka ʻolelo Hawaiʻi. But I have nowhere to learn it So not that perfect. I'm learning it because I'm interested in Hawaiian folk culture, since I was a little child. My goal is to live in Hawai'i, since I ever learn Hawaiian. It would be hard goal, but still keep trying.
I am a dancer. I have learned dances from all these cultures...why are you not celebrating with them instead of tearing them down...smile and be proud of these beautiful cultures!! Aloha nui loa...
Tahitian, Maori, Samoan, and Hawaiian. That's the order of the cultures in this video. Of course there is a more wide range missing from the polynesian culture: Tonga, Niue, Cook Islands, Fiji, and more. But, good video, just don't title it Hula dancers when it's not.
Well maybe you folks at a social and government level, should take some initiative instead of bringing down the persons who put their time and efforts into creating something like this. For an average person in the world, Oceania only means two big countries. Let alone the distinction between Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. The greater Pacific culture has been "Afro-ized", just look at the slang, music, and general lifestyle of Pacific Islanders, post 2010s social media. An average person thinks Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is black. Most normies in any country, consider them to be some sort of hybrid between Asians and Blacks. Reduced to a tourist spectacle for resorts and cruises. Oh I forgot, this is not possible because you are busy running away to Australia, New Zealand, France, and the US. Nevermind carry on. Best you can do is snarky passive aggressive comments like these.
If you watch hula dancers without the large, grass skirts, it's a bit different. Some skirts are built to add that sharp, bounce affect. It's still a complicated dance, don't get me wrong! But for the most part, it's not their actual hips that are making it seems so quick like that.
Mahalo for commenting. It is their hips that create a pleasant rhythmic sway. Belts and skirts accentuate the action of the hips. It is a specific correct movement of the hips that creates the effect. One can’t just wobble or flail.
OMG, Talk about a walk down memory lane. Mama's Kumu was Kumu Kent Ghirard, her halau, The Hula Nani's from back in the late 1950's. Mama taught us 3 girls Hula, Tahitian and Maori, family friends taught us Samoan....our luaus we're good fun. Seeing this video brought a smile, Mahalo nui loa for all the love poured in this video. Using the bamboo sticks, uli uli and the ipu....My Mama dancing when I was keiki 💖 plenty Aloha 🤙 Me ke Aloha Pumehana
I am very much in awe of my Polynesian sisters. I’m Mexican, but I watch this dance and I am beautifully reminded of how the female body lends itself to artful grace. Are we not lovely and don’t our bodies suit such artistic expression?
Beautiful!! No one can take that smile !. Oh I did a prayer for lahinah , my prayers to the Most High , the god of : Jacob , and Issac , aberham , it takes like 2 days for mine to work , but this prayer is BIG so may be little longer then 2 days .
It is so beautiful! I like to watch such dances and l like the music too. Every such dance is like a story. Every move is full of harmony and beauty! 😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@chicharoni2822 it's definitely not an insult, Cortoon promote the country and it's show many good things about the island, and the importance of the environement as well ,.. So, don't insult Moana pls.. i'm not offended by the Madagascar cartoon..
Can you imagine being the first Europeans to see and hear something like this? After a year of traveling on rough seas with only men, and coming from cold, dark and grey countries with prudish and conservative culture. I would have lost my mind. Must have been like a psychedelic experience. No wonder a lot of them stayed and never left back with their boats! 🎉❤ Mutiny on the HMS Bounty. 😂
I m not fond of Hula as i have always practiced the traditional tahitian dance but this video is awesome ! In particular the pink and black tahitian suit. So pretty and original !
This is the Most Beautiful Articulation of Woman Warrior Bird Flower.... Who Cares What Name My Window Breaks.. It is beautiful to see Indigenous Culture Survive.. & Thrive... Love Self, Cultivate Life, Breathe Happy.. W/ Compassion. Peace...!!! Mahalo.!
Actually not "What a Wonderful World..." though it has that melodic quality as is stated above, it's a "cover" of Brother Iz's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow..." However, in the full version of this track, Keoni does go into Beautiful World though... good ears.. Keoni Manuel's music here: kmpoly.com/music-2/

Imagine being a tennage U. S. sailor, far from home and seeing this..... They say these dances tell a story. All I heard was some of these ladies are drop-dead pretty.
vikingsailorboy Not wrong if your point meant the nice cars represent the Germanic Nation colonialism, and depends on what is "America" to you cuz Hawaï is also America. Not because it belongs to the USA states but because it is also the land of The indigenous Americans. as well. The real Polynesian "AUSTRONESIAN people Atayal /Dayaks" are of Siberian ancestry and they are among those tribes of Native Americans you can meet in North America and natives in Southern America to the Carraïbes the native Tainos, the Atayal Dayaks have been natives in the North and South of Americas since past 8000years, they only populated Polynesia later and Micronesians of South Asia are in Polynesia mixing with them only few hundred years ago
I lived in Hawaii for 9 years, then in Singapore for 2 years, then in Russia for 7 weeks, then in USA, Texas for 4 years, then Lithuania for 2 years, then in Brazil for 2 years and now I live in Europe, but still listen to these song -_-

0:31 ‘Ōte’a dance (Tahiti) 🇵🇫
1:03 Poi dance (Aotearoa) 🇳🇿
1:25 Hula dance (Hawaii) 🇺🇸
Mahalo! We shoulda done this ourselves a long time ago! … but as has been noted, 1:25 is in fact Hawaiian Hula.
1.25 is actually Hawaiian too I’m sure
@@Manoatevarua Samoans are Polynesian, yes, as per the description. But the dance at 1.25 is not Samoan. Samoans don’t sway their hips like that. Could be Tahitian too but definitely not Samoan.
@@Manoatevarua you are correct, 1:25 is actually Hawaiian.
@@Manoatevarua Samoan siva is more about graceful hand movements and leg/feet movements. No hip swaying movements. Just saying
Those ladies were amazing, especially the ones with the feather skirts.

So not that perfect.
I'm learning it because
I'm interested in Hawaiian folk culture, since I was a little child.
My goal is to live in Hawai'i,
since I ever learn Hawaiian.
It would be hard goal, but still keep trying.

Love the native dances ( hula especially) from the Pacific Island region. The dancers are so graceful and strong!
Some of the most beautiful woman on the planet, hands down
I am a dancer. I have learned dances from all these cultures...why are you not celebrating with them instead of tearing them down...smile and be proud of these beautiful cultures!! Aloha nui loa...
All these dances are so intricate and mesmerizing. I thank you for sharing this piece of culture with the world.

I love Hawaiian Music so peaceful, relaxing music, after a long day...

I am very much in awe of my Polynesian sisters. I’m Mexican, but I watch this dance and I am beautifully reminded of how the female body lends itself to artful grace. Are we not lovely and don’t our bodies suit such artistic expression?

A little calm for Friday. Thank you ladies 🌴
Beauty, harmony, aestetic, grace are there

I have one thing to say about this: beautiful. I mean it.
Wow. Absolutely breathtaking.
Beautiful!! No one can take that smile !. Oh I did a prayer for lahinah , my prayers to the Most High , the god of : Jacob , and Issac , aberham , it takes like 2 days for mine to work , but this prayer is BIG so may be little longer then 2 days .

Moana is Maori but I’m not sure if their Polynesian I should search it up.
Really?
Please dont compare a cartoon with the real thing. It's kind of insulting.
@@chicharoni2822 it's definitely not an insult, Cortoon promote the country and it's show many good things about the island, and the importance of the environement as well ,..
So, don't insult Moana pls..
i'm not offended by the Madagascar cartoon..
I am so seriously fallen in love their Polynesia culture and dance after I’ve learned that I have 30% Polynesian.
Can you imagine being the first Europeans to see and hear something like this?
After a year of traveling on rough seas with only men, and coming from cold, dark and grey countries with prudish and conservative culture.
I would have lost my mind. Must have been like a psychedelic experience.

Well maybe you folks at a social and government level, should take some initiative instead of bringing down the persons who put their time and efforts into creating something like this.
For an average person in the world, Oceania only means two big countries. Let alone the distinction between Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. The greater Pacific culture has been "Afro-ized", just look at the slang, music, and general lifestyle of Pacific Islanders, post 2010s social media.
An average person thinks Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is black. Most normies in any country, consider them to be some sort of hybrid between Asians and Blacks. Reduced to a tourist spectacle for resorts and cruises.
Oh I forgot, this is not possible because you are busy running away to Australia, New Zealand, France, and the US. Nevermind carry on.
