Ancient Hawaiians had no music.
They used chants to tell the stories of old time and pass on the history of the people. The dancers never smiled. They bent their knees low to absorb the mana (strength, spiritual energy) from the earth.
Hula is something that comes out of the deep place in your heart when you listen to the poetry (mele). You listen to the mele, and then you move in a way that gracefully interprets that truth.
Aloha= Alo means presence or literally "in the face"
ha means breath or spirit
Aloha: to breathe into the face or share spirit with one another.
Aloha friends!!!!
