beautifully put and exactly what i loved about the dance besides how lovely and meaningful it was

Dude is torn up, in amazing shape, but showing amazing control and grace!

Same thoughts!

I like how the man's undressed bess enhance it for me (jkjk, I love this hula I learned it on maui)

I think the dress is a bit too stiff and big. It distracts from her performance and hides the movements.

멋져요. 자꾸자꾸 보게 되네요♡

Where ?

Mark Zuckerberg forced Hawaiian natives off their lands, so his wife could have more privacy.

Honestly the culture is amazing and graceful i agree

Same, I could watch this all day long

I think so too. I can almost sing this now. Will have to look up the full lyrics in Hawaiian sometime. I can hear the Hawaiian place names, now that I know what they are.

To tell we understand and it's so cool to remember that there was not necessarily translation sometimes the dance told the story in the way your body moves and that is just so cool.. you can pass it down for generations and the dance and the meaning will always be the same

Fr and some lines were virtually identical to how u would say it in NZ Māori

Hawaiians are really poetic in their songs.

The sacred cliff is also really good. And a lot of their other verbal images are very good. 👍

"He is the beautiful flower of Hawaii." 😍 "Kalakaua is his name."

it kills me everytime Hawaiian culture is appropriated/used as an aesthetic for a party or sum, their culture is actually so gorgeous and so much more than those plastic flowers you can buy at the dollar store

I wish my culture was pretty as that tbh

It's beautiful that no matter how awful the world gets, no matter how many dark things there have been, music, dance, and stories in their own way, culture to culture, unite us somehow. That and the word for "mom" sounding so similar in so many unrelated languages.

@@Iera_Thaumaturgy whats your culture??

Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time. I'm pretty sure dancing is somehow connectable to that metaphor, but I'm unsure how exactly.

same here

Because white is right and we are the best! All others are insignificant.

Ah yes, we like to call them the blissful ignorant. Hypocrites for short

While people destroyed all nonwhites

I have no idea. I sent it to him yesterday and today we are over! 😢But maybe… maybe it is god….

Why don't you try again? I bet you could do it now!! ❤

I've watched lilo & stitch so much that, as soon a the video started playing in my feed, without sound, I immediately thought of lilo & stitch and had the click the video and heard the song! So beautiful ♥️ I hope you learn the dance still! It'll make your inner child happy 😊

very well said

Complement, actually. But they probably compliment each other occasionally too. 😊😃😺😄☺

@@julistarling8382 I appreciate the correction. Definitely learned something new.

Wholeheartedly agree!! ❤️ My daughter loves Lilo and Stitch and I'm excited to show this to her so she can read it to her. She'll probably try to mimic the dance too.

@@LottyDotty05 That would be beautiful to watch, to see your young daughter embrace another culture. It is such an interesting one.

А я постеснялась написать про мультфильм))))) танец- просто шедевр! Как будто то бы волшебный мир🌍🌸🐾

Our Hawaiian people has such rich and beautiful culture that's pure and this song shows just a bit to our mainland brothers and sisters what jewels that the USA really have that should not be lost destroyed or tampered with.

Mahalo for watching!

I'm not a dancer at all, but she's floating out there!

@@segueoyuri She really is!

*slides in* How ya doin now? I hope everything is alright. Stay strong, friend.

@@carenxatu5962 I'm doing fine right now. just trying to survive every other day. Thank you!

I listen to this song almost every morning to get into a good mood

Having lived through black depressions since I was 9 years old (I'm 66 now), I know precisely what you mean. Somehow, this song -- and now this dance -- gives me chills and a huge smile every time I hear it.

Idk if this thought process helps everyone, but keeping it in mind that all things are temporary, including sadness, really helps get through those particularly tough times. The pain you feel today, might not be so bad tomorrow or the next day and so on. Sometimes, keeping that thought in the back of your mind while struggling can help the tough times seem a little shorter each time. It's definitely a mind exercise that doesn't always feel like it's working early on, but after some time and mental effort it becomes subconscious and one day you'll randomly notice the improvements you've made. Also, I know this is a broken record kind of statement, but do your best to socialise. No matter how much you think to yourself that you don't want to or can't at certain times, that's your depression lying to you. Depressions greatest weapon is to trick it's victims into thinking they WANT to be alone, it's greatest weakness is having social support, be that IRL or with online friends. Sorry for the text wall, but I hope you're doing ok, and if you're not doing ok, that's alright. Progress isn't always linear. 🤗

It also pays tribute to the last (and first) Hawaiin Queen, Lili’uokalani, who wrote a book describing her queenship and the honor she had being Hawai’i’s last ruler.

There's a cog wheel at top R upper corner Click it See options on drop down box Click loop on/off For continuous music Hope this helps

​@Don's Baby I think they meant more the translation of the dance which was included Hula is a language of sorts (not 'Olēlo Hawai'i)

It is not an endangered language, but that is going thru another revitalization ! I hear people speaking olelo in my field (history) all the time on campus. it take time, but learn if you would like!

University of Hawaii at Manoa offers the language. Love to see you on campus someday!

Aloha 🌴 is what it is 😊

@@chellesama8256 sadly, Argentina is going through an economic crisis at the moment and it's impossible to get out of here, but maybe in the future! I'd love to :')

@@Pinkninja987 good to know it's not endangered! That makes me happy, honestly. I still wish to give it a try, I'll see what I can do with the resources I have

Согласна! Это настолько восхитительно,нежно! Это как ода самой природе,только в танце.Браво танцорам!!! Интересно,а что за страна?

@@user-hh6wx1kx1e я поняла, что Гавайи.. хотя могу ошибаться

I felt exactly the same. Both the song and the dance spoke so directly to the heart.

@@tamaliaalisjahbana6849 ⚘🙂

Какая это народность?

I was looking for this comment n.n

My husband and I have favorite "Happy Movies" we like to watch when we're feeling low. *Lilo and Stitch* is at the top of the list. We watched it with my parents once, and it charmed their socks off. They especially loved the DVD extras, like the delightful behind-the-scenes shot of the children's choir that performed the song.

I know zilch about Asian dance, let alone Malaysian. Can you direct me to any good, authentic vids? I'd love to learn more! And this gorgeous, high-energy vid has given me a huge smile on two consecutive mornings now. I think I'd better watch it once a day!

Feels the exact same way!

Same, I teared up watching this

I was just going to say the same 🥹💜

В этих движениях чудесный мир- море, деревья, небо!

О, как хорошо сказали- околдовал 😍😍😍😍😍 не могу оторваться

I know... His voice grabs my heart then that soulfull drum beat along w/ georgeous dancers that are elegant performers.... just perfect recipe for heartfelt beauty of nature.

Просто просмотр танца улучшает настроение, умиротворяет и заставляет улыбаться, словно это ты только что станцевал

Просто просмотр танца улучшает настроение и умиротворяет, и, кажется, что и я точно так же смогу
