Hoola Dance

The Hula Dance is the famous style of dance originating from Hawaii. It was brought to Hawaii by the Polynesians who settled there. It was originally preformed as a ritual at religious ceremonies but evolved into a form of entertainment. Due to travel and trade around the world the dance styles of Hula have influenced other dance styles and is a very well known dance. Hula is the soul of Hawaii expressed in motion.

Hawaii is know for its perfect climate all year round, it is never to hot nor too cold always 'just right'. Hawaii has only two climates- Summer from May to september and Winter from October to April. The natives named them Kau (when the sun is always directly overhead), Ho'olio (when the sun is lower and the winds are more variable and there is more rainfall).
