This performance is one of my absolute favorites. Incredibly gorgeous.

[@lenakruglik1958]

Самое лучшее что я увидела в последние месяцы!!!! И я очень рада что я увидела это , Я даже не подозревала, что существует такая красота,! Восторг и восторг

[@ЕленаМальцева-д6ъ]

Великолепно. Потрясающе. Завораживающе. Как всегда, я под впечатлением. Влюблена в этот танец навсегда. Может, кто-то не поверит, но когда мне грустно или расстраиваюсь, я смотрю эти танцы. И успокаиваюсь. Хула возвращает хорошее настроение и надежду на лучшее. Люблю вас! ❤😊

I finally went to the Merrie Monarch!!! After 20 years of watching VHS recordings that my Grandfather would send to us, I was there front and (side) center... and when I heard you perform, I remembered this performance. This will always be one of my favorite performances. If there is a recording, I'd buy it. This hula made the uli uli one of my favorite instruments.

This is so beautiful yet so poignant, sad even. I am thinking of the love and hope the Princess and indeed the nation of Hawai`i had for Ka`iolani and how tragaic was her passing at such a toung age. This hula honors her in a most lovely and gentle way.

Hawaiians have stolen my heart - The most beautiful people on earth!

[@Ale-qz8nb]

They're like beautiful sea waves!!

[@alina885]

one of the most beautiful oli i've ever heard ...

[@MissMidoria]

I guess it's about what the judges see. I was in a competition over 10 years ago and we lost first place by two points because a part of someone's costume was hanging off. What we see as perfection can be "near perfection" to others. I heard one year the winner won only by one point. Unless we see the score cards, we can never know what the judges were thinking.

[@bobatstar76]

Just beautiful!!!. I miss Hawaii so much. I wish I went to this when I lived there.

[@TheManofsorrows]

Mahalo Nui Kumu Hula Olana & Howard Ai for this beautiful performance.

SHEER DELIGHT! ♥♥♥ I am absolutely hypnotized by all of the beauty of this culture ♥♥♥

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

Just found this ... it’s 2019 now. Beautiful!! Should be shared with the mainland! The Chinese dance companies make the national circuit - why not the Merrie Monarch participants?

[@steveboy7302]

I want their uli uli. They are beautiful. I have two sets right now. One that has red outside and yellow on the inside and I have a brown one with tapa in the middle but I would give up all of those for just one of these. Amazing dance.

why is the video quality so bad?

[@leeawesome]

those giant red squares that wasted screen space were hideous. Merrie Monarch needs a new video editor... stat.
