Thank you for this clarification! I actually have this #hula choreography broken down + put back together on my website too: www.jessicayoungfit.com/dance

[@KyoukixOokami]

I really appreciated that "Hula language" part for the first 8 beats ^^ I think it's always good to understand what the body is storytelling during a dance before presenting it to an audience,

[@juanrodriguez-mt4jc]

I'm Hawaiian and I love that every step is what you do my friend who is Spanish needs this video

[@bikiniprojessica]

Mahalo nui loa iā 'oe Juan! 🙏 I have this #hula choreography broken down in Spanish + pieced back together with a performance on my website: www.jessicayoungfit.com/dance Happy dancing! 💃🏻

[@2pua3]

This is an amazing video :) I'm a native Hawaiian so I love how natural the dance is to the song. Only thing that would make it better was if you were to put it all together at the end so show what it shoud look like with the moves and music and everything.

[@girlisstrange]

finally!!! a fantastic video, that shows what not to do, and that I can learn from! I am going to be studying this non-stop...I have decided to get into hula, and I think this would be a great first dance for me to do. an entire video of this, would be great. please upload one? you break the dance down, beautifully. but I also learn, from repetitive watching. Mahalo, for reading!

[@stefanieallen4645]

Thank you! I liked how you explained the technique also the meaning behind the hand movements : )

[@bikiniprojessica]

Glad you enjoyed it Stefanie! 🙏 I have this #hula choreography broken down even further + pieced back together with a performance on my website: www.jessicayoungfit.com/dance This should help you master this dance. Please check it out + I look forward to teaching you this beautiful dance! 💃🏻

[@vj0124]

Love this. Great instructional video. Do have a video of you dancing the hula after the instruction? Also, is the video "mirror image" so that its easy to follow and dance?

[@stevenappel1603]

Dear Mrs. Young, thank you for sharing and explaining that dance to us and in that great detail. I see that your choreography is already several years old bye now, but I sincerly hope that you are still enjoying dancing. Wishing you the best, health and sucess. S

[@bikiniprojessica]

Absolutely! Once you dance, you never stop! Do you dance too? 😄

[@LilRennagade]

Can you do a video doing the dance from beginning to end? I'm performing the dance with a group for a themed party but I can't seem to find a good video of the dance the right way.

[@kelseymatarese]

I didn't see a video posted of it performed. I just realized this video is 3 years old but would still love to see it performed! I am trying to learn this for fun. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@violetsni]

YOU MAKE IT LOOK EASY!

[@woofypoofy2561]

This is seriously frustrating me, it’s supposed to be a breakdown but I can’t even get past the first part 😭

[@bikiniprojessica]

You got this! I have this #hula choreography broken down with audio cues + put back together on my website: www.jessicayoungfit.com/dance This should help you master this dance. Please check it out + I look forward to teaching you this beautiful dance! 😄

[@danirojas498]

You should add the whole dance (all together with the music) that helps a lot! I love the coreography and the explanation of all the tecnique detalis, Im a dancer and that's really important...Excellent job!!!

[@Shewolfen]

thank you for this wonderful presentation! You are so graceful! And I love your chill style and humor, yet the video was very concise. I liked how you hummed the song to the beats, that was very helpful. Only thing not in the video I would have liked to have seen was you doing the full dance to the song to show how all the moves are put together in the performance.

[@bikiniprojessica]

Thank you so much! I actually have this #hula choreography broken down + pieced back together on my website: www.jessicayoungfit.com/dance Happy dancing! 💃🏻

[@0oLipSmackero0]

[@lynnmckenna9934]

this is lovely! excellent demo- beautiful dancing!

[@laniharris6318]

I know this video is old... But, how does this all match up with the song? I've learned the dance to preform for a class, but it seems to short for the music. Do you think I'm dancing too quickly, or did you use a shortened version of the song? Mahalo!

[@bikiniprojessica]

Hi Lani! 🙏 Yes, it actually does match up with the song! This #hula choreography is broken down even further + put back together with a performance on my website: www.jessicayoungfit.com/dance This should help connect the dots. Please check it out + I look forward to teaching you this beautiful dance! 💃🏻

[@meganruiz1813]

LOVE this video. So if I am doing this dance for an audience should I be mirroring you. Going the opposite way? Or does it matter?

[@breathingart]

This is a really good tutorial! Thank you!

[@bikiniprojessica]

You're very welcome! Have you seen the full choreography that I posted 2 weeks ago? Hope you like it!

[@katespd]

Mahalo, Jessica. Hula dance is turning popular in my country (I'm from Venezuela) but there are still many questions about culture and technique. I take classes of Bellydance and Ori Tahiti, also started to teach them this year and think Hula is very interesting too so we're gonna try at least basic things. Love this song and the folklore, would like to try dance this choreography if that's ok :) nice tutorial!

[@missjama23]

So I don't know if I'm really drunk but I really feel it's beautifully example explained! Thank you!

[@Chaotic_Fine_Thanks]

that was great. I'm going to watch this over and over again until I've got it all down! One question about differences though, please: In other versions of the dance, as well as in Lilo and Stitch the movie, after the intermission they do this heel-toe-scooting sort of move. Why is it that some versions do not incorporate that part into the dance? Is this a historical fault on Disney's part? I'm probably overlooking several other differences between the cinematic animation and the actual choreography, but that one is the most apparent. Thank you so much for your instruction!

[@2021mirandinha]

Do you have a DVD instruction please? I would love to have one

[@mathildedarnal991]

Wow this helps a lot thanks !!!

[@taylorsands8458]

was this mirrored???!!!!!!

[@LunaSilvae90]

Hey, just stumbled upon your video and I would love to learn this! I just had one question- is the video mirrored? I'm asking just so I know what foot (right or left) I should be on when starting out and for each step. Hope that makes sense, thanks! =D

[@mywonderlanddream]

Best explanation of this song on youtube thank you!

[@LaFlakaFiichu01]

Love it!! I'm going to try and learn it :)

[@audreybaudreys]

Do you take hula classes? They offer them in my studio and i'd really like to look into them, i'm currently just a ballet dancer. Is it okay to start at age 13?

[@lanid6148]

Do happen to know the Hawaiian wedding song or kawaipunahele can you break that down

[@kiwivf]

is this the original?

[@AmaryllisCandy]

I do middle eastern dance or Belly dance. I enjoy folk dances. I would love to learn this but I do not think there is anyone in my province who teaches.

[@nathank2452]

The reason why you look at your hands in hula is because you are telling a story, and in order for the audience to catch/understand the story, their attention has to be focused on both the feet and hands but more on the hands.

[@alisonoosthuizen2512]

Very nice

[@TheNicoadorable]

great video...can u please do a video on Ipo lei moli breakdown for my wife thanks

[@baileybrooks378]

@JessicaTango a group of my friends want to dance this song for my graduation party could you give us a video lesson

[@haruxsaru]

Okay...am I correct in hearing you say "hi, Richelle"? because when I watch this I get kinda freaked out, because that's my name!

[@seanscon]

the only disney song that i like is being presented in a different style!

[@emimoreno7244]

You know what I need practice on, the finale (I CAN'T SAY IT) :(

[@bikiniprojessica]

Yeah, you got this! I've broken this dance down really slow on my website for you: jessicayoungfit.com/dance

[@Drina333ily]

In the "hula message", it helps to understand what the dance actually means. Instead of just "doing" it

[@Drina333ily]

Thank you!

[@bikiniprojessica]

Thank you for the tip! I'll keep that in mind for my videos going forward.

[@bikiniprojessica]

Would you like the explanation in writing or by doing another video?

[@FoxieRoxie365]

I try as hard as I can, but I can't seem to get it right!

[@monac949]

What's the english for He inoa no kalani kalalakaua kulele? and for He mele no Lilo ( I think mele is like song)?

[@kisskisslovya]

He inoa no ka lani Kalakaua ku lele~ " A namesong for the Chief Kalakaua He Mele No Lilo is "A song for Lilo," but as 'Lilo" can also mean 'lost' some think that the song can be translated as "A song for the Lost" The whole song is a tribute to Queen Lili'uokalani and King Kalakaua, the last two monarchs of Hawai'i before America forced Lili'uokalani to sign a treaty dismantling it. Because the United States were terrible to the Hawaiians, and don't ever let anyone say we weren't.

[@monac949]

Thank you!!!

[@nataliamaria1695]

In the heavenly name of kalakaua, Kalakaua is the last king of hawaii. He mele no lilo. Lilo's song or song of lilo

[@macybautista1301]

Well, I very much doubt you still need the translation but He Mele No Lilo is A song for Lilo.And for the first one its a namesong for the chief, Kalalakaua.

[@2pua3]

+Mona C Hey Native Hawaiian here. So "He inoa no kalani kalalakaua kulele" is hawaiian for "A namesong for the chief Kalakaua" and "He mele no Lilo" is "A song for lilo" The song itself is about our great kings and queens and our beautiful nation

[@sydneyvillegas6516]

You forgot to say when you walk to your position your suppose to put your hands on your hips... I do Hula for our school's Ho'olaulea

[@GodsMessanger1]

It means "A namesong for our chief Kalakaua. Cast forth!"

[@mew-tt7wj]

i got lost at the turning part

[@maxguevara5054]
