May you find an abundance of gold at the end of your rainbow. Did you know Hula dancing can be performed either sitting or standing? The seated form of the dance is called "noho," while the standing form is called "luna." Often being associated with nature, the hula dance is an artistic rhythmic dance with slow hand movements, hip rotation, and footwork. The hula dance has special meaning — it out the words of the oli (chant) or mele (song) that is being sung during the performance. Each dance can be slightly different, reflecting varying emotions and styles, from the rolling waves in the ocean to sadness and despair. First developed in the Hawaiian Islands, hula has many forms and different styles. New members are welcome to join the Makua Hula Dancers every Wednesday at the North Clubhouse from 10 am to 12 pm. No previous dance experience is necessary. If you are interested in having the Makua Hula Dancers perform at your event or would like more information about us, contact Perla Williams at (951) 467-8339 or at pearlyshellsdancer@gmail.com. Delaney and James will play for the March ICC Dinner and Dance. Courtesy Photo
