i hate when people say they are twerking, no they are not its just a type of hula, its part of the culture. there is no reason that anyone should comsider this twerking

[@ricecristi]

Just That Girl ok right! Twerking comes from African dances, completely different cultures. This is beautiful and tells its own history. People are dense af

[@DailyRealness]

Twerking doesn't come from African dances! It comes from scuzzy sleazy millennials!

[@nethanbabes]

Renit Rift actually twerking originated in West Africa. Traditionally as fertility dance. Take the time to do research before you just say shit

Just That Girl thank u! God bless!!

I've watched so many of these Hawaiian/Polynesian dancing that I can't write this on every one of them. The girls are very beautiful, natural beauty and the dancing is so elegant, so stunning, so beautiful.

[@xjade_bitxhx23]

the skirts just emphasizes the movements of the hips guys geez, its not tweaking either

God bless Hawaiian dancers. They work so hard and give us such beauty and excitement.

[@orendad5398]

This is so cool, it’s amazing how they have such control of there movements.

[@shervellebergholz]

Just FYI: this is not twerking or hula, for that matter. It's Tahitian. It looks nothing like twerking although there are some African dances that mimic the fast moving hip motion. Tahitian is a Polynesian dance but it is distinctly different from hula.....

[@MaluluKeleGuiSila]

Usually the Hawaiians know it not hula. But they're using "hula" as a marketing term because tourist recognise more with hula than with Tahitian or Ura. In Hawaii its called Hula and in Tahiti it's called Ura pronounced "'Oodah" with a Goliath stop before it's pronounced.

[@MaluluKeleGuiSila]

*glottal stop

[@shervellebergholz]

Luke McCalister I have lived in Hawaii for 20 years and have been part of a halau for 16 of those years. I do understand that many people umfamiliar with the diversity of Polynesia tend to group things under a catch-all phrase. Thus, any dance by any group from Polynesia that involves fast moving hips becomes hula, just as any group of people from Polynesia are often mistaken for Hawaiian. I appreciate the linguistic lesson.... even though I have been learning Hula all these years, language is still the most challenging and yet, most beautiful part of the dance.....

[@kaitolover13]

I took tahitian in dance class! I loved the skirts lol

[@2view23]

think twerkin in us a sexual dance this been around so long way longer than me don t know real meaning even if a womans hips moving.

[@TheMeloettaful]

I would love to be able to move my hips like that :D ! But I'm afraid I might pop something painful if tried to :) lol!

[@AGC828]

Well, I'm sure they would start you off slow...and from the very basics. :) How fast you get to this point is another story. Age, health...etc... Just odd they would be doing Tahitian Hula in Hawaii...just to make the tourists happy I guess as that's what they come to see. Some remember the fast swinging hips seen here is Tahitian Hula...the slow is Hawaiian...as I mentioned already...wonder how many tourist remember which was which after returning home. weeks or months later. :)

[@trio8925]

TheMeloettaful You dont usually just move your hips, you mostly use your legs to make your hips move

[@weltonvillegal6258]

My knee would tap out with the first step........

[@kathleenandersen6332]

Actually it's all in the knees!

[@littleme3597]

Easy to do. Bend your knees a bit, then back & forth with hips. I took belly dancing lessons. As you do this more. you loosen up muscles.

[@trivia3108]

I've been learning belly dance on and off for a year. I would say I'm in a intermediate level. Then I tried this hula. Bruh, I have never felt so betrayed by my own self-esteem. This needs a lot of energy. I'm running out of breath very easily and I can't smile. I think I need to practice circular breathing while dancing so that I can smile, breath and looking graceful at the same time. I think people need to try it at least once so they'll have higher appreciation for the hula.

It's actually the same type of movement and the same body parts moving. The costume and choreography is what makes hula seem more appropriate. But trust if the were in plain clothes and off stage...you would call them twerking hoes.

The movement in polynesian dancing tells a story. The dance steps have been handed down through the ages. However, belly dancing you make up your own dance. The music is different too. I did both when I was young.
