Polynesian Dance – Hawaiian Hula (Beginners)

Discover the beauty and spirit of Hawaiian Hula, an ancient dance tradition where every movement tells a story and every gesture expresses a deep connection with nature, music, and culture.

This beginner-friendly course introduces the fundamental techniques of Hula, including posture, basic steps, hand gestures, rhythm, and expressive movement. As the year progresses, students will explore choreographies from the two main styles of Hawaiian Hula: Kahiko, the traditional form accompanied by chants and percussion, and 'Auana, the modern style characterised by graceful melodies and flowing movements.

Hula is a complete discipline that enhances balance, coordination, posture, memory, and physical endurance while promoting body awareness, relaxation, and emotional expression. More than a dance class, it is a journey into the traditions and philosophy of the Hawaiian Islands.
