Mahalo
Your gift of dance and encouragement is heartwarming.
And your jokes are so funny. 🤭

I love the way you teach. I learned this hula and danced it for my uncles funeral. Everyone loved it. Mahalo.

Aloha. Willie Dan (Duc Huy) is a well known musician in Vietnamese communities around the world. Duc Huy wrote White Sandy Beach when he lived in Hawaii. He gave the song to his friend Israel before he left Hawaii. Beautiful dance choreography! Mahalo!
