Today's dance: Hawaian Hula!
How to do the hukilau hula dance on the hukilau song:
Oh we're going
Step forward lightly, hands on hips
To a Hukilau
Vamp right, holding hands out in front, and mimicking pulling on a fish net.
huki, huki, huki, huki, Hukilau
Vamp right four steps, repeatedly "pulling on a fish net"
Everybody
Sway your hips widely, holding arms out to the sides in a semi-circle, indicating "everybody"
loves
Still swaying, cross arms in front of chest, symbolizing love.
a Hukilau
Vamp right again, holding hands out in front, pulling on the fish net
Where the Laulau
Sway hips to the left, cupping hands with palms facing up
is the Kaukau
Sway hips to the right, bringing fingers to the mouth to signify eating
at the big Luau
Sway hips to the left, and bring hands to the mouth while smiling
We throw our nets out into the sea
Raise both arms up over the head and "throw" the net out to the front of you
and all the ama amas come swimming
Put your right hand on your left hand, keeping palms down. Wiggle your thumbs and move hands outward right then left to signify a swimming fish.
To me
Bring hands in, pointing to yourself
Oh we're going
Step forward lightly, hands on hips
to a Hukilau
Vamp to the right, pulling on the fish net
huki, huki, huki, huki, hukilau
Vamp four steps to the right, pulling on the fish net with each step
What a beautiful day
Sway to the right and to the left, raising arms out and up in a circle overhead to make a "sun"
for fishing the old Hawaiian way
Sway to the right and to the left, raising your right arm as if you are getting ready to throw a spear
and the Hukilau nets are swishing
Sway to the right and to the left, elbows bent at sides; sway your hands gracefully from side to side. Keep your palms forward, facing the audience
Down in old Laie Bay
Circle arms in front of you to signify a bay
Oh we're going
Step forward lightly, hands on hips
to a Hukilau
Vamp right, pulling on the fish net
A huki, huki, huki, huki, Hukilau
Vamp right for four steps, pulling on the fish net
Pau (end)
Put your right foot forward with toes pointing, bring your arms forward over your toes with your hands together. Bow your head and bend at the waist.

THE DANCE - Belly dancing
In much of bellydance there is a focus upon the core muscles of the body producing the movement rather than the external muscles of the body. Egyptian and Lebanese bellydance in particular emphasise the need for movemements to originate in the muscles of the back. In most belly dance styles, the focus is on the hip and pelvic area.
Important moves are:
Shiver or Shimmy – a shimmering vibration of the hips. It may be created by moving the knees past each other at high speed, although some dancers use contractions of the glutes or thighs instead. It is also possible to perform this using the muscles of the lower back. The two terms may refer to performing this move in different directions, as it is possible to create this vibration moving the hips alternately up and down, side-to-side, or in a forward and back swinging motion. The same move can be performed using the shoulders and is sometimes called a shoulder shimmy.
Hip hits – A staccato movement of the hips out from the body. The move is usually performed by a quick shifting of the weight from one leg to the other and creates the impression of a swinging pelvis.
Undulations – Fluid movements of the hips or of the chest in a circular or rotating fashion. There are a wide variety of movements of this kind, of which the most well known is probably the rotating movements of the chest forward, up, back and down to create the impression of riding a camel.
Different styles also incorporate kicks and arm movements as an integral part of the style.
