HULA
The hula is a native dance of Hawaii that uses arm movements to relate a story. The hula can be performed while sitting (a noho dance) or while standing (a luna dance).
The documentary “Kumu Hina” features the traditional Hawaiian dance form known as hula. “Kumu Hina” is a film that explores the story of Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, a Native Hawaiian teacher and cultural icon. In the documentary, you can witness the art of hula, which is not only a dance form but also a cultural and spiritual practice deeply rooted in Hawaiian traditions. Hula often tells stories of nature, mythology, and daily life through a combination of dance and chanting.
