Malihini mākou iā ʻoe i Kona
We are your guests in Kona

I love this channel so much. Tjis is what the internet is for: creating a community to learn about and preserve the beauty of our cultures.

[@iHulaHawaii]

NunukitaHanon - so well put. That is my heart - to bring the hula of Hawaii‘i to the online community and providing authentic hula to anyone in the world who wants to learn. Mahalo nui!

iHula Hawaii I'm really happy I found your channel. I can't dance for my life, but hula just has a certain energy that makes me wanna jump to my feet and dance away with no fear. Can't wait to see your channel grow and spread, I have the feeling it will attract a very nice community around - but until then, I'm going to show you my full support in each video (Heaven knows we should start supporting creative and hard working producers, instead of those channels that just search to capitalise by exposing the lives of questionable people...)

Mahalo iFleru Ivy for subscribing and leaving a positive comment. You can do it if you have a desire to learn and a love for the hula. My suggestion is learn the videos in order, giving yourself a week to memorize each part before moving onto the next. It typically takes a month or more to learn a complete hula in my live classes that I teach.
