I think the dress is a bit too stiff and big. It distracts from her performance and hides the movements.

Lilo & Stitch was my favorite movie as a little girl. That one special movie I would watch over and over and over, that I knew basically all the lines and the music, even tho I didnt understood the english being spoken on the songs, way less hawaiian. But I would sing in my own way because it made me very happy. As years went by, the movie brings me much confort and heartfelt tears and joy for times that I cannot go back to & the surprise of understanding so many nuances as I get older. This song and Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride always were my go to when I needed to boost my mood and as I reach my 30th birthday in a couple of days, it hasnt changed. I tried to learn this dance when I was little but was never able to. Its beautiful and graceful and even more amazing seen in real humans! This song still gives me chills, now even more learning what it means and seeing this beautiful display of skill, culture and passion! My heart is happy!!!❤❤❤

Idk if this thought process helps everyone, but keeping it in mind that all things are temporary, including sadness, really helps get through those particularly tough times. The pain you feel today, might not be so bad tomorrow or the next day and so on. Sometimes, keeping that thought in the back of your mind while struggling can help the tough times seem a little shorter each time. It's definitely a mind exercise that doesn't always feel like it's working early on, but after some time and mental effort it becomes subconscious and one day you'll randomly notice the improvements you've made. Also, I know this is a broken record kind of statement, but do your best to socialise. No matter how much you think to yourself that you don't want to or can't at certain times, that's your depression lying to you. Depressions greatest weapon is to trick it's victims into thinking they WANT to be alone, it's greatest weakness is having social support, be that IRL or with online friends. Sorry for the text wall, but I hope you're doing ok, and if you're not doing ok, that's alright. Progress isn't always linear. 🤗

The Hawaii hula is one of the most beautiful forms of expression I've seen. It is different from other Polynesian dances. I love this song.

This Hula was banned by the American government ( who colonised Hawaii) because it pays tribute to the last Hawaiian king

This is absolutely beautiful i’ve always wondered what this song meant and now i know thank you for sharing your wonderful culture and traditions with us

As a kid, I would watch Lilo and Stitch a lot, my mom would tell me that I used to try and dance to the opening hula, my TuTu came from Maui and moved to the mainland for college, so Lilo and Stitch was the closest thing to my heritage when I wasn’t with my TuTu

You are both beautiful dancers. Thank you for putting the lyrics in English for us. It makes the story more beautiful with your dancing.

Ever since I was a kid I thought Hawaiian culture was absolutely magnificent, Lilo and Stitch was one of my favourite movies growing up alongside Mulan. I would love to learn the language some day, I've heard it's endangered, and that both shocked me and pained me to the core. I know it won't disappear any time soon, but we can't let it die. There's just something else about Hawaiian culture that makes me feel things, I don't know how to describe it. This was beautiful, and nostalgic! Cheers from Argentina

My husband and I have favorite "Happy Movies" we like to watch when we're feeling low. *Lilo and Stitch* is at the top of the list. We watched it with my parents once, and it charmed their socks off. They especially loved the DVD extras, like the delightful behind-the-scenes shot of the children's choir that performed the song.

Ugh this was my favorite part of the Lilo and Stitch movie as a little girl and now that I’m older to know what that song means I feel just a piece of my childhood is healed 😂🥰🥰

I finally took a moment to watch this video. It made me appreciate the beauty and grace of the Hawai'ian people all the more.

I almost teared up at the lyrics about the Chieftess for some reason? It was always my favorite part in the song when I was little and the translation showed how revered she was...it's beautiful

Thank you so much for the translation! I’ve always wondered what it’s about and it’s even more beautiful than I imagined :)

Hula was the first dance I learned, I was 6. Beautifully danced by this lovely couple. The hands tell the story...... I subbed...........I miss my home.
