New Hula Class August 9, 2008

Dance your way to the South Pacific and join our new teacher, Hina, in a brand new Saturday class: Polynesian Heartbeat! From the islands of Polynesia come some of the most beautiful and memorable styles of dance. You will begin in the islands of Hawai'i by learning basic hula footwork to the beat of the ipu(gourd). You will then incorporate everything from feet placement, graceful hands, swaying hips, and facial expression to "tell a story" dancing to a Hawaiian mele (song). Then we travel to the islands of Tahiti to "shake things up" to the faster beat of the to'ere (drum). Come and enjoy these fun, graceful dances of the Pacific! Saturdays at noon at Heartbeat House.
