Oh it's sooo great to see there are still male hula dancers that can actually dance!!! Grace meets masculinity. Great control and stage presence. I'm one proud hawaiian!

[@iamaloha2]

May I join you are your true comments? Ryan is a fabulous masculine dancer of hula and knows how to tell the "kauna" of the song.

Thanks for share; who's the lap guitar player? da fingahs, da fingahs maika`i!

[@markwitz]

Hi Ross, Shawn Ishimoto plays his electric guitar on his lap. It's not a steel guitar. Search on KZbin for more videos by Shawn and you can see him playing solo.

[@rossr6616]

markwitz Thanks. Yeah, I realized his unique playing style just at the end of the mele.

[@jeanneharriott976]

Love this hula, but I would like a more traditional style costume! I think it shows the hula moves.

[@markwitz]

They dragged him up out of the audience. No time to slip in to a malo.

[@sandramorey2529]

We always love it when audience gets up and dances. Spontaneous and not a "performance"

[@nkokami]
