I'm deaf and use sign to communicate. I hear the twist and turns fine. . .it's like sign language to me. . . . i rather enjoyed this `auana!

Nice! But if my kupuna where alive today they would say that this hula is "too busy!" As Aunty Pat Bacon (adopted sister of Mary Kawena Pukui and a leading authority on hula said to me), " in todays hula's there are too many twists and turns!" "You should choreograph hula's as if someone in the audience was deaf!" "If you have all of those turns and twists, how would one understand it if they were deaf?" Again....nice, but too busy!
