21 Learn to Hula

Hula dancing is not as easy as it looks during the short demonstrations you've seen on screen. At a hālau hula or school, a Kumu Hula or master teacher can give you more insight into the ritual banned by Christian missionaries during the 19th century. You can learn about the culture, the costumes, and the intricate choreography and storytelling. Hula dancing is low-impact and reduces stress, so it's great for all ages and body types.
