😍 you guys look so graceful I'd love to learn something like this I bet it's amazing core strength

[@c.p.5167]

I took a class for eight weeks. Yes, you really do get quite a core workout - especially your obliques. After one class a week for eight weeks, there was a noticeable difference in my lower belly area. Hooray!

[@candiigurl7893]

Cool!

[@05Marz]

Wow, thanks ladies 4 this drill, its a great workout on my thighs lol... Keep it up!!!!!!

[@Queen0piranna]

[@V6Y2j5]

Very Good ! ! ! I've been to Honolulu twelve times myself in thirteen years. I live in Vancouver B.C. Canada. We have some Hula dance schools here too and they travel over there to compete. I don't have any plans yet to visit Hawaii. Because of today's economy is still struggling to get back on track. Probably any time as long as an opportunity becomes available. Mahalo ! !

[@marcelmussard5822]

[@nicholaflanagan2357]

[@emelineemeline9114]

Hi. I love your channel! I took Tahitian dance lessons as a kid and I'm trying to remember a move where you step with one foot and then you squat a bit and your knees kind of butterfly outwards while your feet remain together. You sway your hip to one side then you stand upright, your feet come together again and you step with the opposite foot. It's pretty fast and it was done with the decorative straw pom poms. Are you familiar with this step? We would also say Maow ca caow at the beginning then get into position and bend our knees with our arms outstretched.

[@hashtagleon216]

that’s called a kalākaua, it is a step in hula!

[@billeagle51]

Hey! from this angle this looks great

Really wish we had something like this in America, but I will be moving to Hawaii in the summer so I'll have a chance soon!! :)

Hi Fattie! I'm trying to promote Tahitian dance in Lima, Perú. But just basic level and with soft music so people don't feel the challenges at the beginning, it's hard though! Thanks for watching my last vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/mofQdaePYrN7eNU&ab_channel=EternalDanceGiselle%3ATraining

[@barmtrail]

[@woodah33]

How do you get your hips to swing like that?

[@rebekahharris8466]

Its the movement and bending of your knees

[@alauram.6416]

woodah33 years and years of practice It took me around 5 or so years to get good at it but still not perfected the movement to my standards

[@woodah33]

alaura14 m Yeah I imagine it would take tons of practice, even still it amazes me how dancers can independently move central parts of their body such as hips, chest, shoulders. Much respect to all you guys because I look like a fish out of water (literally) if I attempt to do the same.

[@syvallone2146]

But hey, Ballet is the most difficult dance to learn and Misty Copeland mastered it as a teenager! I don't think it's ever too late too learn any dance :-)

[@ricanpwr1]

Are these classes still available?

[@paweeeeeeekan]

what music did you use here? cd or were there real drums playing?

[@mizemotion]

Aloha, have you been able to get some of these drum beats on tracks? I have been searching the internet for Tahitian drum beats, but there seems to be none. :/

[@anniemachucatorres]

Hello, i create a video of ta'iri tamau and fa'arapu

[@gking670]

Where can I purchase your music?

[@jandavis4436]

does this help you lose weight?

[@thingz1011]

[@tenaynayy]
