On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Tama and this is Nani Maka, we are from Aloha Tama Leao's Polynesian Productions located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We’re going to teach you the advanced Hula. Folks the Hula is from the island of Hawaii; in Hawaii the whole group of islands we have an island called, Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Molokai and Niihau. But the hula is very important, we use it because that’s how we communicate to our children, even our adults. And the hula is an old old, like 18th century and that’s how we would be able to communicate and talk to our children at younger age. But now we also teach our children how to do the hula which they start at a very, very young age and up to the adult age but we use it for entertainment right now instead of the history of Hawaii. On behalf of the expertvillage.com we’ll like to say “Mahalo” to you, that means thank you very much for your time.
