Abstract

The article focuses on the history and meaning of the Hawaiian hula. Hula is the soul of Hawaii expressed in motion. Hawaiians agree that the first hula was performed by a god or goddess which makes the dance a sacred ritual. Although it began as a form of worship during religious ceremonies, it gradually evolved into a form of entertainment.
