On my way back to the main entrance of the Umie Mall, I heard strains of hula music. I craned my neck as to where that lovely sound was coming from. From a distance, I saw a small crowd gathered in front of a makeshift stage where young, college-age girls were dancing the hula. I went near to get a good look . I think it was a mini recital of a college hula dance club that those girls were in.
I have always been fascinated with hula dances since my elementary days. The first hula dance I saw was in a school program where my school mates danced to the tune of Pearly Shells, a popular hula song in the '70s. Then, many young showbiz stars were also into the hula. I remember watching on TV , stars like Nora Aunor, Vilma Santos, etc. donning a long Hawaiian dress complete with the leis and singing "Lovely Hula Hands", " My Little Grass Shack", etc. Of course, there was also the Tahitian dance by the Aldeguer Sisters which I enjoyed watching immensely.
I like to dance and if ever I'd have a chance to take some dance classes , I'd choose the hula. I love the soothing and romantic music, also the hand movements. I think I'd like this over the Zumba for an exercise. I heard the hula moves will improve posture, and give a lady smaller waists and well-formed butts. Plus, the flowers in the hair and those blooms hanged in leis ...oh, I'd certainly love that on me !
