Uploaded by on Dec 15, 2008

Choreographed by the renowned Kumu Keali'i Reichel and performed by the Seabury Dance Ensemble in 2007-2008. This piece is a hula noho, or sitting hula, dedicated to Kumu Keali'i's mother. He taught it to the ensemble in 2007. Posted for audition purposes, that's why it zooms in on me a good chunk of the time. PLEASE: Do not repost without permission if you are not one of the dancers in the video. I've found a couple people who have reposted this on various sites already.

  • This Hula is absotutely beautiful!

    Great Job, Noelani and company! Our six year old daughter is also named Noelani.

    Great song sung and great choreography by Ke'a'li'i Reichel, and great dancing by the girls/women in the group.

    So graceful, so beautiful, so mezmerizing!

    It is wonderful how human beings can move that gracefully, and how the blending of song and dance of this caliber can be another one of life's beautiful experiences!

    Mahalo!

    Maui no ka oi!

  • nice work girls. great presentation. thanks for sharing.

  • yep, thats Grace :D !

  • @abbotsford911 don't worry about being sure about this performance because you're not qualified to critique it :) the hula noho style predates your "ballet hands" by several centuries. this may not be the best representation, but our dances are not purely for performance value, each posture and movement has meaning and traditional basis that you can't be expected to appreciate :)

  • nice dance

  • Maika'i no!!!!!!

  • youre very pretty =] and the song is just amazing

  • Amazing !

  • Hello mate! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Breathtaking... simply graceful.

  • excellent staging, beautiful smiles, not so sure about the ballet hands vs. hawaiian hands and the legs appart, though.
