Including myself we are raged by teddybearz4me's comment There are specific times when you should clap and "holler" and such during performances but it varies on the music so the "proper etiquette" doesn't apply to ANY performance. I mean during solos, you clap and holler for the solo and i believe this performance with everyone cheering is quite nice, it keeps the performers motivated and they're happy to know the audience is enjoying it.
I wish I knew how to hula dance.. But thats second on my list. Does anyone know where I can find someone to teach me Romani dancing?? General FL/GA area would be best x3
And btw, I love the dance, they did a fantastic job, it was awesome and yes, definitly the best on youtube, but it is a tribute song and dance to the land and spirit of Hawaii which deserves people being respectful during it....Like The National Anthem or Pledge of Alligience.....cheers applause and shouting is just not appropriate till its done....
@teddybearz4me I know that alot of people have replied but you've got to realize that this isn't the same thing as signing the anthem and such. this song/dance is not "serious." i mean you could say that its just how they show their spirit with the dancers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think it's REALLY disrespectful to hoop and hollar while these people are trying to concentrate during this fantastic dance. Not to mention OTHER people are trying to listen and watch and they dont want to hear the people hooping and hollaring, they want to hear the music. Have some freaking manners. SAVE THE APPLAUSE and SHOUTING FOR THE END!!! If they knew what the words meant, they shut their mouths.
@teddybearz4me ...really you need to educate yourself on Polynesian dancing. That hooping and hollering you are so disappointed in, is in fact a celebration and encouragement from the dancers/leaders/tutors.
You may mean well....but you have it all wrong. Also ....feel the need to add, this is not a professional video, it is a mother taking a vid of her daughter...so any noise you hear from the camerawoman is not heard by anyone.

More than 1 person was verbalizing during this.
I am very well educated thank you very much. Both my children are in several different music programs in school, & extracurricularly, & the proper etiquitte for ANY performances are to remain quiet until the end. listening to people make a bunch of verbal noise while these people are performing after so much hard work to do it, is aggravating in the extreme to the listener, & disrespectful in the extreme of the person doing it.
@teddybearz4me you are an idiot. you know nothing about Polynesian performances or dancing. Stop commenting on something you are NOT informed about and touting your kids musical programmes makes you seem even more ignorant.
You dont get it......I stated that it was a celebration and encouragement, shouting....to show enjoyment, whether you think it is disrespectful is moot....because it isnt.....If you are going to comment, please educate yourself.
@teddybearz4me I was going to add, too, that although I am not a dancer by any stretch of the imagination, I am a musician and I have also acted and I can tell you from experience that when we're up there on that stage and we perceive nothing coming from the audience...it's very discouraging. It makes us think that maybe we've done something wrong or we're not very good or you just don't like us. On the other hand, when we receive such feedback as cheers and (cont'd)...
@teddybearz4me "hooping and hollaring", as you say--and thank you very much, I hadn't heard that term "hooping and hollering" in a long time. LOL I thought my family and a few people I knew were the only ones who used that!--when we get that kind of feedback it is encouraging and we feed off of the audience's energy. So, no positive feedback coming from the audience? The performance will probably suffer. Lots of positive feedback--aka "hooping and hollering"--probably a great performance.
@teddybearz4me Perhaps what they mean by "remain quiet" is that people shouldn't do some of the following during the performance: 1. Talk amongst themselves. 2. Talk on their cell phones. 3. Get up and/or walk around during the performance. 4. Keep a crying child in the auditorium during the performance. 5. Shout derogatory remarks and/or heckle.
These are just a few examples of what not to do. But I'm sure shouting encouragement to the performers would be perfectly okay.
@teddybearz4me how is it disrespectful?? if no one was cheering during it i bet they might of been discouraged they those ppl just love seeing thier daughters or friends dancing and having fun!! if no one cheering during them dancing then they were disintereseted but cant u just have and just cheer them on for how great they r how did this video became a arugument on cheering during kids dancing?? retards
@teddybearz4me obviously you arenʻt hawaiian. so you wouldnʻt kno. it is encouragement and as a hula dancer myself, if i didnʻt hear the chi-hoooo i normally get from my ohana i think I havenʻt made them proud. go back to your cat videos, you haole.
@teddybearz4me obviously you arenʻt hawaiian. so you wouldnʻt kno. it is encouragement and as a hula dancer myself, if i didnʻt hear the chi-hoooo i normally get from my ohana i think I havenʻt made them proud. go back to your cat videos, you haole.
@teddybearz4me I have nothing against that but now theres alot of arguing so thanks ;P and honestly,, thats what everyone does because i've actually lived in Hawaii, and this is what they do no matter whatt, because that is how they show their pride in their children and music,, your children are probolly in like hip hop or ballet welll thats a whole different storyy! And it's very rude how your just instantly saying it's disrespectful when you dont even know why their doing itt!!!! Peace
I agree with DaemonicBlackCat when she said "most traditional dances use general meanings for specific movement so that the choreographer can have freedom with their interpretation of what is being relayed by song and dance. There is no right or wrong way."
I think you did an excellent job and we are learning this dance from your video. Thank you for sharing
@PrincessSearrah ..... I dont think you would be too old Searrah. I am 47 this year and i am doing it with my girls whose ages range from16 to 58 ... we think its a fun and pretty dance to do that children in our audiences will recognise the music from Lilo and Stitch and really enjoy it
i love this song! for my brother's wedding, my cousins and i put together a lot of polynesian dances and one of them was a hawaiian dance to this song. so this songs always brings back lots of fun memories. and i thought the little kids in this were so cute
I was thinking about all the rude comments I read and started thinking about one of the "extras" that was on Lilo and Stitch. I remembered something that Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu said,"How grand it is for somebody else to love something of someone else's culture. I think it's a beautiful thing." You can say what you want about "selling out" to the movie but many of us would have not seen the true beauty of the hula if not for this movie.
I love this song and my 2 yr old who wants to watch "Stitch" all day as encouraged my love for the hula. I think the Hawaiian culture is beautiful. This hula might not be up to a "seasoned" Hula dancers taste but I think its great. Why be so worried that people are not "performing" everything correctly instead of being happy that people want to try and learn a part of your culture.
so pretty. I wish i could do that. I went to this laua when i visitied hawaii, and the girls were so gracful, then we took the back road and found this little shrimp place and snow cone place, the town looked so little, it was in the middle of no where, but the drive that day was amazing, just seeing hawaii, not the touristy stuff, but the real stuff that makes it beautiful. the small places, getting a snow cone, having shrimp,enjoying the weather. hawaii is amaazing.
I think you gals and guy did a good job. I am hawaiian and a hula dancer on my own from maui. Every one has their own way of dancing hula to the same song. Any hula dancer knows this for all kumus and kapunas has their own style and way. Much mahalo to these dancers for their hula and i think they did a wonderful job.keep up the good work
@sugarbaybee1421 i learned the steps by just repeating the video over and over again and imitating their steps.. the video i watched was he mele no lilo heilani polynesian school of arts on the right... their steps can easily be followed because the camera was still..
this song is the opening to Lilo and Stitch The Movie. and i dance to it like they are. ive had years of practice but i cant seem to get it all the way down. though my friend says i do it perfect i dnt think so. but they did great on it. A+ x]
I enjoyed this performance. :) I give these guys credit for their performance. Here's what I thought was nice: sweet children willing to learn to dance hula and doing their best...their discipline was evident on the stage; nice, respectful costumes with NO bare midriffs...in fact they are pa'u tops and skirts, which is the traditional hula kahiko dancewear; their aloha spirit...it shined through their performance!! That is to say a few. I just enjoyed it. :) to be continued
^.^ Very excellent, I thought the little ones did very well for their first time, and kept pace with the song, It's hard to keep up with >> and I wore shorts lol XD which accordingly so is easily to dance in then a hula skirt..>> Don't ask.
Yes! I love it! Mostly in movies or stuff ppl put on here have ppl just swaying their hips and hands! Out this show its more than that! I LOVE BEING MIXED WIT HAWAIIAN thanks!
it's very beautiful, thanks for showing on the net good dances like that, it saves us from some dances which are atrocious representations of how we dance...
@raesholiday Um no. Hula isn't always about swaying your hips there are more movents that go in to dancing hula. Kaholos or swaying rather as you put it is a basic step in Hula.
I live in Hawaii now, and its great. But not everything is like how people think it is. All cultures have their black spots, and trust me, I've seen them. But. Its still good to be here. I love my Hawaiian friends.
I think the Hawaiian culture is absolutely beautiful. I have never been to Hawaii but i do have such love and respect for the people and their culture. One day i would love to learn how to dance like the Hawaiians.
okay Hopopp69? we were not illegally annexed by America. you better get your facts straight before you start pointing fingers. (and dont even think about accusing me of being white and not understanding, i was born and raised on the islands)
Ohh this is awesome! I watched this about 6 times, literally! Although i would love to learn how to hula, they sadly don't have it where i live, but i am taking belly dancing instead, and i am hoping it will be equally enjoyable and fun!
Please explain how this dance is insulting to "your" culture?
As the tutors are Hawaiian and Tahitian Maori...and both were taught repectively from their homelands..Im sure they will wait with baited breath as to your wisdom :-)
Do you think the age (5-16) and the fact that they had JUST learnt this dance a couple of weeks prior had a lot to do with them not performing to your high standards?
I really wish all those on here who are deriding those who are seriously trying to learn hula and saying they didn't do it "the correct way", I wish those same people would just put up a video already and show us "the correct way". They seem to imply that they, alone, know "the correct way". But you know what? The proof is in the pudding. They need to put up a video and show those of us not in the know "the correct way."
As for me, I think the kids and their dance class did a great job!
@rickyfan3956 its true! i've been looking for "the correct video" for 3 days!!! hours and hours of looking! someone needs to post a video of the "correct way"!!
@rickyfan3956 i like that term you used, "the proof is in the pudding" haha thats so clever, never heard that one before lol think imma start using it :)
@NymphadoraBeeWolf I'm surprised you never heard that before. The original phrase is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating." It means that the true value or quality of something can only be judged when it's put to use. (from askyahoo.com) Most of those people who claim to know "the correct way" also claim to be able to do it "the correct way". So, lets see them put up a video of themselves doing it "the correct way" and we'll judge the results.
@rickyfan3956 very true, i wish i could hula like so many talented people, such a rich and fascinating culture, i have been trying to convince my family that we should move from chilly canada to sunny and tropical hawaii, maui specifically, but they won't budge lol
sheesh...nevermind, I just looked at your page. 14yo...
Baby when you have lived a wee bit longer you will understand a wee bit more about being Polynesian and having respect for other peoples accomplishments and applauding that, not thinking you are above it. Not very polynesian at all. Talk more with your elders and they hopefully will show you to be a little more thoughtful.
the hell you know about Polynesian? if you knew shit about your "elders" you'd know there are very strict protocol to performing certain chants, dances, etc.. you want to talk about respect? How is it respect to take a sacred OLI (chant) about KING KALAKAUA (the last King of Hawai'i, before our nation was illegally annexed by America), turn it into a Disney song and entitle it He Mele no Lilo (A Song for Lilo)?? do you know how disrespectful that is on so many levels?
Including myself we are raged by teddybearz4me's comment There are specific times when you should clap and "holler" and such during performances but it varies on the music so the "proper etiquette" doesn't apply to ANY performance.

For those of you who do dance Hula please don't criticise. As a Hula Haumana to another Hula Haumana we are taught
A 'Ohe Pau Ka Ike I Ka Halau Ho'okahi - All knowledge is not taught in the same school. These words I believe were the words of Uncle George Naope.

I enjoyed this performance. :) I give these guys credit for their performance. Here's what I thought was nice: sweet children willing to learn to dance hula and doing their best...their discipline was evident on the stage; nice, respectful costumes with NO bare midriffs...in fact they are pa'u tops and skirts, which is the traditional hula kahiko dancewear; their aloha spirit...it shined through their performance!! That is to say a few. I just enjoyed it. :) to be continued

well hula is really mostly about swaying your hips and telling a story with your movements
raesholiday 2 years ago
@raesholiday Um no. Hula isn't always about swaying your hips there are more movents that go in to dancing hula. Kaholos or swaying rather as you put it is a basic step in Hula.

I live in Hawaii now, and its great. But not everything is like how people think it is. All cultures have their black spots, and trust me, I've seen them. But. Its still good to be here. I love my Hawaiian friends.

I think the Hawaiian culture is absolutely beautiful. I have never been to Hawaii but i do have such love and respect for the people and their culture. One day i would love to learn how to dance like the Hawaiians.

Actually, I think he was off to the side. I think the camera angle from where the person filming this made it look like he was more in front.

Ohh this is awesome! I watched this about 6 times, literally! Although i would love to learn how to hula, they sadly don't have it where i live, but i am taking belly dancing instead, and i am hoping it will be equally enjoyable and fun!

Are you kidding me !
I am Hawaiian ! I live on Maui.
This is insulting to me and my culture...
This is horendous, a good attempt i'll give you that.
but next time, try and learn the CORRECT hand and foot motions.
maybe even try and be in sync

ouch! that was nasty.
and uncalled for.
Please explain how this dance is insulting to "your" culture?
As the tutors are Hawaiian and Tahitian Maori...and both were taught repectively from their homelands..Im sure they will wait with baited breath as to your wisdom :-)
Do you think the age (5-16) and the fact that they had JUST learnt this dance a couple of weeks prior had a lot to do with them not performing to your high standards?
Thanks anyway Matenga tutai :-D

I really wish all those on here who are deriding those who are seriously trying to learn hula and saying they didn't do it "the correct way", I wish those same people would just put up a video already and show us "the correct way". They seem to imply that they, alone, know "the correct way". But you know what? The proof is in the pudding. They need to put up a video and show those of us not in the know "the correct way."
As for me, I think the kids and their dance class did a great job!
rickyfan3956 2 years ago 74
@rickyfan3956 its true! i've been looking for "the correct video" for 3 days!!! hours and hours of looking! someone needs to post a video of the "correct way"!!
jrjohansen1 10 months ago
@rickyfan3956 i like that term you used, "the proof is in the pudding" haha thats so clever, never heard that one before lol think imma start using it :)
NymphadoraBeeWolf 8 months ago
@NymphadoraBeeWolf I'm surprised you never heard that before. The original phrase is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating." It means that the true value or quality of something can only be judged when it's put to use. (from askyahoo.com) Most of those people who claim to know "the correct way" also claim to be able to do it "the correct way". So, lets see them put up a video of themselves doing it "the correct way" and we'll judge the results.
rickyfan3956 8 months ago
@rickyfan3956 very true, i wish i could hula like so many talented people, such a rich and fascinating culture, i have been trying to convince my family that we should move from chilly canada to sunny and tropical hawaii, maui specifically, but they won't budge lol
NymphadoraBeeWolf 8 months ago
sheesh...nevermind, I just looked at your page. 14yo...
Baby when you have lived a wee bit longer you will understand a wee bit more about being Polynesian and having respect for other peoples accomplishments and applauding that, not thinking you are above it. Not very polynesian at all. Talk more with your elders and they hopefully will show you to be a little more thoughtful.
Live proudly and love long little one.
remember ugly is as ugly does.
jellybee68 2 years ago
the hell you know about Polynesian? if you knew shit about your "elders" you'd know there are very strict protocol to performing certain chants, dances, etc.. you want to talk about respect? How is it respect to take a sacred OLI (chant) about KING KALAKAUA (the last King of Hawai'i, before our nation was illegally annexed by America), turn it into a Disney song and entitle it He Mele no Lilo (A Song for Lilo)?? do you know how disrespectful that is on so many levels?
Hopopp69 2 years ago
Take it out on the person who sold the song to Disney.
I know these tutors paid homage to the song that the kids love.
I dont think it is nescessary to be nasty to a bunch of little kids, ready and willing to learn the lovely art of Hawaiian dance.
I dont need to prove my polynesian status to a brainfart on youtube.
Good luck to your cause :-)
