Hula teacher Honua Lani performs five traditional Hawaiian hula routines using five different Hawaiian dance implements. After a brief description and demonstration of each implement used, each complete routine is shown with a full length view of the dancer and an inset close-up of her feet. This makes it easy for you to learn these dances. Hula routines demonstrated are: "HAWAIIAN WAR CHANT" using uli uli (feathered gourd rattles); "NAKA PUEO" using ipu (gourd drum); "HALEAKALA" using kala'au (wooden rhythm sticks); "GREEN ROSE HULA" using ili ili (lava stone castanets); "A KONA HEMA" using puili (split bamboo sticks). (15 minutes) Companion manual with written choreographies also available.
