Hawaiian Hula Dancing: Background
A must at a Hawaiian Hula and Luau Party is Hula Dancing! Long ago, Hawaiians used to do use dance to tell a story. The story was told using their hands, motions and song. The origin of this can be traced back to Polynesia and India. Ancient hula tells the story of the creation of the world and its creatures. Watching a hula is like reading a book about the history and culture of the Hawaiians. Rattles, drums and other instruments, such as a gourd drum were used to make the music. Hula dancers have to dress in bright clothes and a grass skirt.
