“Hula is the language of the heart, therefore the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people.” - King David Kalākaua
Hula is the traditional dance of Hawaiʻi and is the physical interpretation of culture through mind, body and spirit. As a traditional artform, hula is deeply rooted in ritual and ceremony. While hula supports the foundations of our past, it also has been innovated upon in modern times. Learn how hula represents the physical and spiritual connection to the essence of Hawai’i and how the values learned in its practice are deeply rooted in the values of place and the normalization of the Hawaiian language.
