Aloha Everyone! It’s Lynn with iHula Hawaii, bringing the hula of Hawai‘i to you. 1:08 HANDS ONLY 2:01 FEET ONLY 2:47 FEET WITH MUSIC 3:20 HAND & FEET PART 2 3:55 HULA TO PART 1 & 2 TOGETHER We are now here for Part 2 of “Hanalei Moon.” If you’re just tuning into my channel, I encourage you to go back to some of the previous videos, that teach you the basic hands and feet of the hula, as well as Part 1 of “Hanalei Moon.” CLICK HERE FOR PART 1 VIDEO:    • HOW TO HULA: "HANALEI MOON" - HANDS & FEET...   It would be really good if you could block off a week to learn this. I would recommend 3-4 times during the week, maybe a practice of 10-15 minutes at this stage of the hula. The more that you listen to the music and even learn the lyrics, the more the hula will become easier for you. Please subscribe to my channel and give me a “thumbs up” if you enjoyed this video. And this time, if you could leave me a comment below, letting me know how are these videos working for you? Do you find them to be easy to follow along? Are there parts that are challenging? Or do you even have a question about a certain part you’d like me to answer. Go ahead and leave those comments below. I look forward to hearing from you. Until we meet again, A hui hou, mahalo for tuning in & aloha. ____________________________________________________________________ TIP: Memorize the lyrics to help you tell the story of the hula. It will also help you remember the order of the motions. Lyrics to verse 1 & 2: When you see Hanalei by moonlight You will be in Heaven By the sea Every breeze Every wave will whisper You are mine, don't ever, go away. FEET: For the feet, we will have the kaholo and ka‘o, starting with a directional kaholo, IHOPE, which means to move backward. The ihope, like the imua, simply uses the kaholo to move in a diagonal direction, keeping your body facing foward. When you do an imua and ihope, it's like creating a "greater or less than" sign in math with your steps. Song: "Hanalei Moon" by Dennis Pavao. Please purchase off of iTunes to support this artist. Mahalo! ____________________________________________________________________ Tips to use the video: Try to do each clip separately at least 3x or until you feel comfortable dancing. Then turn away from the video and using the music, dance from memory. I'd recommend using a week to learn this choreography: simple practice 3-4 times during the week, 10-15min. at a time at this early stage of the song. For each practice, do a review of the hula basics using previous videos as a warm up, the practice the first verse of "Hanalei Moon." Happy hula!
