Hula is a native hawaiian dance that hawaiians used to tell their stories and history. “Before Western contact, hula was danced for social enjoyment but its chants preserved epic tales, myths, history and philosophy.” (Origins of Hula - Hawaii History - Hula ) And till this day we now know many myths and legends that have been passed down through generations of hula dancers. People not only dance hula to preserve their history but they dance for enjoyment and be around people that they love. Hula is passed down through generations of Kumu (teacher) and halau (school). People of all race, gender, and age are all welcomed to dance hula.
