Day 17. Back to my roots.
Going back to my roots, my culture. It was hula today! Yup. I finally got my butt back to hula. It's been a while since I've been back to class, and I've been wanting to go ever since I got home from college. It's just hard to fit it into my schedule, especially with work and working the night shift. Hula is every Monday and Wednesday evening, so I try to make it when I can. And today just happened to work out perfectly! No closing shift. Uncle Richard, my uncle and Kumu, is home and was teaching so I thought I'd pay him a little visit!

I forgot how much I enjoy dancing hula, the story telling part... no so much the training. It was back to basics though, the first half of class was all kaholo's, `uwehe's, and all that good stuff. Just talk about burning thighs....seriously! Well, once we got through basics and started going through songs (and actually started to remember them) I was back to doing what I love, which is dancing!
Now i'm going to kaholo on out of here and go moe moe (sleep)!
a hui hou (until we meet again).
