HULA-DANCING (By SimoTheFinlandized - 2022 CE)

HULA-DANCING (By SimoTheFinlandized - 2022 CE) | The hula is a type of traditional 
Hawaiian dance which is accompanied 
by chants and instrumentation. There 
are several kinds of related dance 
across greater Polynesia. Since 
contact with the West, the instruments 
and chanting used in the in hula have 
integrated new elements, including 
polyphonic singing and the ukulele. 
Hula was performed for a variety of 
reasons, from highest ritual to simple 
socialization. The hula dancer’s hand 
motions are used to represent elements 
in the song, from the undulation of the 
sea to waving trees, to emotions of the 
characters. After hula nearly devolved 
into cultural kitsch, a serious effort 
to revive the ancient styles of hula 
began in earnest in Hawaii. | image tagged in hawaii,simothefinlandized,hula,dance,fun facts | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
