2:51 it's so satisfying to see the skirts move at the same time

The fact that those ladies just glide across the floor is amazing! The men’s movements are also so smooth!

the mens’ hula is so full of power. all their movements are so strong it’s ridiculous.

Major points to the camera crews. Brilliant views of the dancing from all angles. None of the other dance disciplines do it this well.

This looks like serious murder on your knees. Lol, awesome job guys.

This is one of the many things I love about the Pacific islands culture. It’s a story through music and dance. That’s why music is so universal. No matter where it comes from it speaks to the soul. This dance comes from the soul. It’s gorgeous.

From age 26 I had the opportunity to visit Hawaii a couple of times and move the in early 80s. Spent nrly 8 yrs on Maui. Every time I saw the Hula, heard a chant, participated in a ceremony the hairs on my arms stood on end. The communication to the soul and spirit is stimulating and mesmerizing.

I’m so glad Hawaii is keeping their culture alive, it would be a true tragedy if any of it was lost.

It's so beautiful and precious to watch. And their warm smiles are so priceless. I love this colorful culture.

Dude. Those Hawaiian guys. I want one.

wow that girl at 6:18, she dances with such grace! I think I'm in love haha

The ancient hula is always my favorite.

Someday... oh, someday... I will be in the audience in person.

So graceful and elegant. This dance is a true joy to watch.

They make it look so graceful and gentle, the hell they must have gone through to get that good!!!

For real... people who dislike this, have some problems with themself. It's just beautiful .. 🌺

The most beautiful of held island traditions comes of the Hawaiian. What a pleasure to see how their joy to continue the celebrated traditions of the island dances. I feel so very lucky Hawaii is a state. The gift of these island dances must not be lost. They are just a joy to see. Imagine, no where in our world is the Hawaiian Island life expressions. 🌺🌊

God the dedication these people work to perform is amazin!

Thanks so much for posting this. Love to watch these!

I really love the precision of these dances. So impressive

It's basically similar amount of stress on your body as ballet. (Mostly knees and feet)

Loved all the groups

Very soothing for waking in the morning. Thank you Happy New Year 2021

@:30 LOVE THAT MOVE!

Amei uma tradição viva de muitos anos acredito eu

Oh, muy linda danza, romántica

Linda apresentação obrigado pelo seu esforço

can anyone figure out what song the guys are singing while she dances at 6:15? Is it Maewaikalani? or is that the name of the dance? I have searched on google for maewaikalani, but kekoa kane's version sounds completely different to this one. I want to find more of this version.

I have bad knees just watching this

so delightful

The judges REALLY have to be paying attention to score these ladies. I could see minor details between the ladies in blue in the first clip and the ladies in the third clip. I think they all did well.

I want one of those blue dresses from the first routine. Also one of the burgundy ones at 4:52 And let’s go ahead and add the one from 7:46 Where are these sold? Where can I get my own?

И все дамы пышные. Это радует!

Muy bello

Give Hawaii back to the Hawaiians....

Muito bonito

2:30 is also my favorite 💖😍🌹✨😭💞✨💖✨💝🙏

Wonderful of them dancibg

send kisses to Brazil, we love you! S2

Umm.. does anyone have a full version of the dance of the second group?

When is the festival usually held , and on which island?

Long skirt, long hair, simple beautiful smile, no lipo suction surgery or plastic everywhere, this amazing.

Liiiiiindo!

Fab!!!

Ahhh my legs hurt just by looking 😅

Las olas del mar y la espuma

Whose portrait is that which hangs at 1:53?

😍

I think this may just be marching band in disguise- but hula came first... Is marching band hula in disguise?!?!?!

Would be nice to know the different meanings to the dances.

Been watching a number of these great vids and can't help but wonder why the exclusive use of 19th century dress for the women, costumes restricted to the time of the late King?, respecting the conservative missionary's who seem to have had so much influence over the Kingdom?

5:41 SHE'S GORGEOUS. OMG What's her name, please? I need to see her speak and dance more!

Riveting

1:20 Me: 0.o Me: I suddenly have the urge to get rich quick so that I can move to Hawaii and have a trophy husband. Me: *feels ashamed* Me: *looks at the screen again and leers* Help me! I don't want to be a sexist/racist creep!

No disrespect...I don't speak fluently, but why was she speaking so fast? Is that how you're suppose to speak it, or is she just trying to show us she can speak the language? Like when someone in schools good at reading and so when its their turn, they read really fast to show the class they're good readers

Русский народный танец: ,мужики в бане с вениками,,.

5:41 ........ the fuck did you just call me?

We need to return Hawai'i to its people. I want them to be able to enjoy their own culture in peace. To show Americans the REAL hula, not the fake luao stuff. It has its own language for fucks sake, and America still won't give it back.

Lilo does it better :o

It's kinda sad u don't really see as many "Hawaiian" people dancing!! Show of how much out culture has changed, kalamai if the people in there chanting and dancing are Hawaiian by blood which really matters!! But I meant by like physically, Hawaiian attributes the looks, instead we see more Asians and Filipinos and Hauoles. THE HAUOLE!! The people who treated our lands like crap since the day they came on our lands!!!

Those men will be good in bed

Frankly while they danced lovely the costumes were disappointing. The warriors should be in loincloths etc... absolutely ridiculous and the same goes for the granny dresses.

The guys needed thin grassskirts that would show their schlong thru cuz that's the true sign of manhood and bravery!
