| Today at the Mall, we were lucky to get a nice table at the outdoor Honolulu Coffee Kiosk overlooking Center Stage. Just in time for the noon Hula Show too! |
 |
| Here come the shell blowers announcing the start of the show. |
 |
| The first dance was a Hula 'Auana, or ancient style, with just the chanting and beating of gourds as accompaniment. It is more rigorous than the Hula Kahiko (modern) style, which is very graceful and accompanied by modern instruments. |
 |
| There were "Hapa Haole" dances too, very westernized and made for entertainment. Since I started learning Hula, a new world of vocabulary and music has opened for me and I can appreciate these islands more. Thanks, Denise, for guiding me to this art. |
