ICC Dinner Dance Club Makua Hula Hawaiian Dancers Activities Day is Sept. 23. Please stop by our table and greet us with "Aloha." In Hawaii, Aloha means more than 'hello;' it expresses wishes for a positive and respectful life. Use Aloha kakahiaka to say, 'good morning,' Aloha auinal for 'good afternoon' and Aloha ahiahi for 'good evening'. ~ Google Makua Hula dancers continue to amaze audiences with stellar performances. Most recently, the Makua dancers performed at the Beaumont Presbyterian Church Hawaiian-themed potluck. The audience enjoyed the hula choreographed dances of Walk To Paradise, Welcome To My World, Nohili E, and Song of Old Hawaii. Solos for the event included Blue Hawaii, Lei Lani, Maile Lei, and Can't Help Falling in Love. The Makua Hula dancers concluded the evening with God Bless America which brought the audience to their feet along with tears of pride and joy to their eyes. It was a beautiful way to end the event. Anyone interested in learning more about Hawaiian Hula dancing are welcomed to join the Makua Hula Dancers every Wednesday from 10 am to 12 pm in the North Clubhouse. No previous dance experience is necessary. If you are interested in having the Makua Hula dancers perform for your event, or would like more information about our group, contact Perla Williams at (951) 467- 8339 or pearlyshellsdancer@gmail.com.
