We may think that dancing a Hula dance is just like any other kind of dance. But, it is actually about storytelling as well. Originating from Polynesia, Hula is currently most identified as a Hawaiian native dance.

It is a dance that is usually performed with a “mele” or chant. The moves in the dance tells about the words said in the “mele”. This is why a Hula dance is more than just dancing and hip-swaying, it is also a performance that needs understanding and a heart that knows how to convey a message.
