HULA BASICS: HOW TO DO THE ‘UWEHE - STEP BY STEP

[@wandaortizthayne3759]

Can you talk about the pronunciation of Uwehe.

[@iHulaHawaii]

Hope this helps. (oo-weh-heh) short sounds - break it up Vowels are pronounced the same way every time. a makes a short “ah” sound like the a in “above” e makes an “eh” sound like the e in “let” i makes an “e” sound like the e in “easy” o makes a short “oh” sound like the o in “pole” u makes an “oo” sound like the oo in “moo” Inside of words, W can sound like V. This is the only tricky rule that requires experience to get it right. Here are some loose guidelines: First letter of the word: a w sound After i or e: usually a “v” sound After u or o: most frequently like “w.”

@@iHulaHawaii so the W in uwehe is NOT pronounced as “V”, correct?

I'm an online ESL teacher for the past 4 years and with no time to exercise. Your Hula instructions helped me be more active without leaving the house. I will continue to practice and dance!

[@heatherclarke3363]

Thank you for the lovely clear break down of the Uwehe. I could not get this step until I followed your lesson 🥰

Always my pleasure Koala. Mahalo for leaving a comment!

[@annalyman2616]

Thank you! Much easier now! I am a senior ukulele performer and singer who has played for hula dancers and it is nice to "see the music from the other side". Now I know what they are expected to do for each word of a song.

[@iHulaHawaii]

Glad it was helpful!

iHula Hawaii I tried to learn about 10 years ago then gave up. I love the way you teach, doing the mirror image!

[@everydaystewardship]

I learned hula from my kumu hula in elementary school and even joined a halau during those elementary school years, but these moves were always in the advanced classes. I ended up doing worship hula with my church for years. So happy to pick up were I left off 10 years later!

[@marshagueringer5459]

Good entertainment, during Covid 19 Containment....

[@UkuleleHoloholo]

And the guys perform the same move, hands, etc.? (edited because I forgot the question mark) By the way, maybe a count would help for us really beginners (I figured it out that it's an 8 count for 1 whole complete 'uwehe step)

[@priscinovak]

This one is not difficult but ouch my legs! I need to workout my thighs urgently (or dance hula).

Great video. It helps me practice my steps. Mahalo!

[@pualenaisz4403]

This is a hard step to do as you get older!😮

[@stevenray0]

hello your video satisfied some of my curiosity on the radio station Hawaii 105 through the Internet we've been listening for a while now where in California Mojave Desert the description given is way hey Omni and slide so you satisfied the inquiry as to way hay most likely the spelling for these Hawaiian words is not correct

[@phoebelafibi]

this is a hard step!
