  3. Kaholo this step is done by taking 4 steps to the right then 4 steps to the left.

Thus when we see the kaholo it reminds us of the vastness of the great Pacific. Hawaiian Village Training guide packet, Page 16

  4. Hela This step is done by rotating, pointing the feet forward and back. When we walk along the seashore, we notice the waves that go up and down the sand. The pointing of our feet and hands forward and back reminds us of the waves going up and down our sea shore. Hawaiian Village Training guide packet, Page 16

  5. U’ehe This step is done by lifting one foot (right) up, placing it back to the floor, then both knees is pushed forward and quick raising of the heels, then rotating it with the next foot (left) with the same movement. This motion reminds us of the rain drops. The movement of the skirts as one are lifting their knees and heels reminds us of the splashing of the water as the rains drops on earth Hawaiian Village Training guide packet, Page 16

  6. Ami Kuku We notice whirlpools in the ocean and how the rotate in a circle. We copy this by rotating our hips in a circle. As we observe the center of the whirlpool we notice the water moves faster, so we move our hips faster and call this move the kuku. Hawaiian Village Training guide packet, Page 16

You will notice 2 things about traditional hula – 1st the air of the dance is quit serious, and this is because in its highest form hula is done as a means to praise and worship our Gods. 2nd all the cues to the dance will come from the dancer in Hawaiian. After the hit to the gourd, the dancer will call out the song that he/she will do. As we go through the song, the dancer will call our verses by saying the first word in that verse. That way the words and the motions will be in sync. And at the end of the dance the dancer will announce in whose honor the song was composed.

  9. With the introduction of new string instruments [Ukulele, guitar, and steel guitar, from the arrivals of Foreigners], we as a people could convert ancient chants to modern music or better yet create new songs. Hence The introduction Hula awana or modern Hawaiian hula. Awanameans to stray away, and that is because the modern hula has strayed away from the serious hulas of yesteryear. Hula Awana is performed in accordance to the Air of the song, which is more happy and casual, thus the dancer would dance gracefully and had a smile on their face.
