I have just released two more courses on Udemy. Learn the Hawaiian Hula Dance to Hukilau for Kids and Adults and Learn Hula Choreography for Pearly Shells. Both include a “video dictionary” for the Hula steps used in the dances.

Learn the Hawaiian Hula Dance to Hukilau for Kids and Adults

Description
This course is designed to teach you the basics of the Hawaiian Hula dance form, which combines music, song, dance, and story. You will learn the hula “Hukilau,” which tells the story of a way of fishing as a community or group from Hawai’i. A large fishing net is thrown into the water and the group of people pull the net in together. “Huki” in Hawaiian means pull and “lau” means leaves. You will learn the basic steps, hand gestures, and hula movements while infusing the Hawaiian culture in every aspect of the dance. The course is suitable for both kids and adults who are interested in learning this beautiful dance form.

The course is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the dance.

By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation for the steps taught and be able to perform the hula “Hukilau” with confidence. You will also have a deeper understanding of the Hawaiian culture and its rich history.

This course includes a reference guide to the steps taught, a drill section for Hula steps, and a choreography class utilizing progressions of working with the steps without music, with music, with cues, and without.
