Hi I'm Brie. Today we're going to learn Hula, basic Hula movements. Starting with Kaholo, step one. Your arms go up, your right arm is mid-breast and your left arm is extended. You want to have a break at your wrist. It's very important that you bend your wrists. When you're doing Hula, it's almost like painting a wall or like saying goodbye. And you want to keep your middle finger lower than the rest of your fingers. Make sure that your hands look very dainty and very smooth. The first step is, with your left foot, step out. When you step with your left foot, your hip goes to the right. Don't forget as a note, in Hula, your hips are moving from side to side. Hula dancers talk with their hips and with their hands. That's the most important thing to remember, okay. Step 1, and one. Let's try it at a different angle. And one. Next angle, one. This angle, one. And one.
