Weldon Kekauoha - "Queen's Jubilee" with hula by Tiana Soares

With Jack Ofoia and Alika Boy Kalauli IV with a stunningly beautiful hula by Tiana Soares (who got up to dance from the audience) at the Grow Hawaiian Festival on the grounds of the Bishop Museum on April 29, 2017
"Queen's Jubilee" was composed by Liliʻuokalani, June 20, 1887, in London as she and Queen Kapiʻolani were en route to the Jubilee celebration of Queen Victoria in honor of the 50th year of her reign as Queen of England & Empress of India.

I finally did a search on the dancer Tiana because of peopleʻs comments. I was pretty sure she was a Miss Aloha Hula participant by the way she dances (like a soloist), and I found she WAS in 2015 -- Sheʻs Tiana Kehaulani Arrocena Soares of Keolalaulani Hālau ‘Ōlapa O Laka under the direction of Kumu Hula Keola Dalire, who took over the hālau when her mother, Kumu Hula Aloha Dalire, passed away in 2014. Aloha Dalire was the first Miss Aloha Hula at the Merrie Monarch Festival in 1971, and her three daughters, Kapua, Kauʻi, and Keola, were all Miss Aloha Hula and are now kumu hula. Her granddaughter, Kili Lai, was first runner-up in 2014 and 2021. Kumu Aloha Dalire worked with Tiana Soares from the age of three. THATʻS why Tiana is such an awesome, beautiful, graceful hula dancer!

Jody Y What a beautiful performance!

[@seapearltoo1]

@@pono9568 This was the most beautiful Hula I have ever seen. Even in torn jeans and a sweatshirt, Tiana's dancing is so amazingly graceful and fluid...like the gentle rolling waves of the Sea!!! Mahalo nui loa! *:D

Perfect song for such a beautiful dance, Tiana, the hands, the movement . An example of why she was in the Merry Monarch, Hoping my daughter will one day get to that level or at least move and dance like her.

Adoro assistir as apresentães, mas as aberturas demoram muito kkkk os caras falam um tempão antes da música. Essa foi a mais curta.

What is Tiana last name. She looks like ohana

[@JodyY808]

Sorry, I don't know her last name. I just heard what Weldon said. She may have been with a hālau that danced that day, but Iʻd have to go back and check the schedule and do a search. Maybe someone else viewing this video who recognizes her can let me know her full name.

[@pono9568]

Chicken Skin every time!

[@kitag_pono]

こちらのダンサーはなんという方か ご存知の方いらっしゃいますか？

Sheʻs Tiana Kehaulani Arrocena Soares of Keolalaulani Hālau ‘Ōlapa O Laka.

Mahalo!

[@lafayettemoreira4423]

I understand, weather rigours bury them alive in clothing, for dancing and partying?
