Dance is a projection of inner thoughts and a form of expression and communication through movement. The Hula is a world concert/ritual dance that in its original form was a “celebration of man’s communication with the elements of music.” Hula dancers do not dance to rhythms, but to words; the dance interprets the words of the song and tells a story. ... In this paper, I will describe the first dance titled “Hula in Red,” the ninth dance titled “Read my Hips,” and the last dance titled “Finale” in Na Lei Hulu I Ka Wekiu.
When the curtain opened for the first dance, men and women dancers were on the stage. ... The dance started with a women standing in center stage singing. ... The movements gracefully went along with the words, and although I could not understand the song, the dance illustrated its story. The dance created an image of a flower blowing in the wind with the slow, curved arm motions. Then the women left the stage and the men performed their dance standing in center stage. During the dance, the men’s knees were bent; according to the video we watched in class, this is because bent knees draw the dancers closer to the Earth.
