Hula, the storytelling dance of the Hawaiian Islands, connects dancers and audiences to the foundation of Hawaiian ancestral knowledge. Hula animates and brings life to history, genealogy, prophecy and the stories of those who came before. Hula is often misrepresented by use of images of other Polynesian cultural dances, or of whimsical hula-themed activities. To experience authentic hula kahiko performances, visit the Royal Grove at @royalhwnctr on Saturdays from 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM. Or, check out the Kūhiō Beach Hula Show on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, from 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (Nov-Dec-Jan) at the Kūhiō Beach Hula Mound in Waikīkī.
