Traditional Hula is a form of Hawaiian dance that combines graceful movements with storytelling through gestures and chants. It is deeply rooted in the culture and history of the Hawaiian Islands, often performed during celebrations, ceremonies, and gatherings. The dance is accompanied by traditional music, which can include instruments like the ukulele and pahu drum. There are two main styles of Hula: Hula Kahiko, which is the ancient form, and Hula 'Auana, the modern style. Hula Kahiko is characterized by its use of traditional chants and costumes, while Hula 'Auana incorporates contemporary music and more fluid movements. Both styles celebrate Hawaiian heritage and spirituality.
