  • That is beautiful. You have very nice veil work. Where did you get the skirt?

  • I made the costume.. a bathing suit,, grass skirting and a little hot glue

  • I suspect that the composer/singer of both those songs might be dismayed at the Hawaiian hula being blended with belly dancing. The first song compares his mother to the beauty and strength of a particular mountain, and the second song was written for the commemoration of the island of Kaho'olawe being returned to the people of Hawai'i (it had been a Navy bombing range) and is a procreation song. The composer/singer is easy to find: Keali'i Reichel.

  • He has been sent the video. I was very aware of the blending, and as you can see balanced both sides. I haved danced both ME and BD for some time. Hula is my first love. I chose to honor it in the cometition.the lyrics..and the meaning. Maunaleo is a story by a boy about the great mountain that has given all things to his life, he wrote it for his mother If you follow the hula segmants the moves are correct. In the ME sections - it is varied but allot of meaning is still there.

  • Also, you are wrong on the second song... it is the story of the Limpet at Kanapou [crawling on the rocks, being scooped by the fisherman]..

  • Thank You Lucinia..

see all
