Aloha Dear Experienced Dancer!
For some time I have been answering individual requests for hula numbers that have not yet been prepared for our regular hula teaching videos. What these videos consist of is a danced version of the song - in front of the mirror - so you can follow that dancer easily. It is accompanied by the written choreography, words, translation and sometimes where applicable, background information about the number.
While this in no way replaces the RealHula teaching videos that are our main focus, these videos can put a great deal of material quickly into the hands of experienced hula dancers who may have little need for the extensive teaching required on our regular RealHula teaching videos.
Our main focus is still the complete teaching experience - the same teaching that my students get in a regular hula class. This product, while a compromise in that completeness, is accompanied by the warning that if you are not grounded in the basic footwork and movements in the hula, you will not find these videos nearly complete enough to fill the gap in your experience and knowledge. . .Kumu Kea
