BR 2-03: The Story of The Hula

"And hopefully, it's a tradition..."  (p. 18)

Do you know the hula? It is a traditional dance of Hawaii. This book tells us the history of the hula. The hula has long history. It started about three hundred years ago. I think that it is so long.

I had been thought that dancing the hula was not difficult, although I have never danced it. However, it was not true. According to this book, the hula is not easy dance because the hula is not only a physical dance but also a spiritual dance. So, there are many Hawaiian who want to dance the hula well. Today, there are hula competitions in Hawaii. The judges of it check not only dancing but also costume. It looks so fun! I think that the Hawaiians love the hula, so the hula has been continued now as a traditional dance of Hawaii. This book is very interesting, so please read it.
