Description
The hula show I saw in Hawaii was not the usual kind people expect, with grass skirts and sexy women. This was the REAL deal, talking story with hands and movements, eyes, and heart. (not that the other kind isn't real as well, this is just gentler and sweeter) What I love about this shot is the woman you can't quite see in the background. She is the grandmother of the young woman, and was sitting with a huge smile on her face--AND she was doing all the hand motions with her granddaughter. The whole show was a family affair, the musicians were all related, one was the girl's dad ( and he couldn't say enough sweetly wonderful things about her),and the rest were all sitting near the grandmother. Once again, the aloha spirit captured me.

I have always thought that a special art the way they sing a story with their hands. It is nice to see the real deal rather than the airport greeters doing the 'touristy' thing on the tarmac.

My coworker belongs to a dance group and they only do Hawaiian dance. She has changed in the last 3 years since she started dancing. It does have an effect on the heart and soul. Definitely a family afair and a way of life...not just a dance.

yes, hula originated as an intimate family & tribal thing, communicating tales through hands and body, very primal & basic. And your shot has that intimacy, and your description is wonderful, it brings us right out of the popular hula and into its real roots. Lovely detail about the grandmother (and yes I can see her imitating hand movements), and nice play of blues & greens against that big bright white fence. Intimate and special, and a wonderful paragraph to go with it.
