Hey Guys, This clip is from a DVD that I produced with my Mom (Yes, Betty is my Mom!). If you like this and want more, please purchase the DVD set on Amazon. It's high-quality and has TONS of great instruction, including six basic hula steps, three full dances, three complete play-a-long with Ukulele instruction, and more. It's a complete program and we appreciate your support of this original work. Thanks and enjoy your Hula!

Kalani Music good day Kalani. We are learning to Hula with our kindergarten class. Unfortunately the dvd are no longer available on Amazon. Is there a different way to purchase thrm?
OMG! When my grandma and grandpa went to Hawaii from Pennsylvania in the late 1950's (they stayed at the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki which is now dwarfed by big tall buildings), Grandpa learned this song and taught it to me when they got home. He also brought me a grass skirt. I can still remember most of the song -- I just have been six or seven when he taught it to me. Your dance moves are so lovely and bring back a very happy memory for me. Thanks!
I had to learn that song and dance when I was attending Hahaione Elementary School in Hawaii Kai. Decades later I still remember almost all the lyrics and the dance. I miss being a kid living in Hawaii.
I'm 64 and learned this in 5th grade...so gun to see. Thanks for this just as I remember although my slide in 5th grade wasn't as graceful. You are a great teacher.
I had this in 2nd grade afterschool and had to perform the dance as a class for the parents ! I’m 26 now but always searched to see if this was actually real or not and didn’t find it till now !
My father’s parents were born and raised on the Big Island. They lived in the camps with native Filipinos, Japanese and Puerto Ricans where they all shared food and traditions together. Our heritage is Portuguese. My grandmother taught me this when I was small and I used to sing and dance Hukilau all the time. It was just so special to me. This was soooo wonderful to watch and she’s such a beautiful and graceful dancer and teacher in this video. Thank you.
Oh my gosh! I learned this dance and song back 59 years ago! I was a little girl taking my first dance classes at Art Linkletter Totten dance studio in AZ. It was mostly beginning tap dancing, but they did teach us this Hukilau. I can remember almost all the moves and words to this day!
This brings back good memories! I lived in Honolulu when I was little and our class performed this for a celebration at school. Such happy times! I miss Hawaiian culture so much! And although I am not native my heart always be ❤
omg. I remember doing this in kindergarten. But its been a long time since I done this dance and the only thing I remembered was the fish hand movements but couldn't remember the hula or the song until now. thank you for sharing.
Your lesson is perfectly presented and easy to follow for a beginner- mahalo. Is the hand/arm movement identical when the song plays "everybody" and "luau" ? Thanks for clarifying.
Hi Kalani, I am currently learning the Hukilau dance from the video with your mom. Which version of the Hukilau song is played in the instruction video? The songs I find differ so much - in the speed/the ryhthm and partially in the wording or the repetition of the verses. Thank you for your help!
Hi everyone, does anyone know exactly where I can find the exact MP3 track she is using for purchase? I'm having trouble finding this thank you for your help.
hi Kalani! I would love to feature your mom's videos in my elementary school physical education curriculum video links, get you some incredible free advertisement. Please let me know if I have your permission. kids and parents would love to learn from her...

I did this song when I was 9 yrs old. I am now 46 yrs old and no wonder this song sounds so familiar. Thank you for sharing.
Cool! Yes, it’s from the mid-1940’s so lots of people have learned it over the years.
It was lovely to find your videos. I am a grandma of 75 but I still remember my lessons when I was a very young child of 10 years old.
What a stress reliever!!! Don't think there is a man alive that could do this to save his life.
You’ld be surprised!

Your lesson is perfectly presented and easy to follow for a beginner- mahalo. Is the hand/arm movement identical when the song plays "everybody" and "luau" ? Thanks for clarifying.
Hi Kalani,
I am currently learning the Hukilau dance from the video with your mom. Which version of the Hukilau song is played in the instruction video? The songs I find differ so much -
in the speed/the ryhthm and partially in the wording or the repetition of the verses. Thank you for your help!
Maile Serenaders is the closest I could find on youtube- everything's the same but the end not it's not on ukulele
@@wolfphoebe20 Thank you so much!
I love it. This type of dancing is my exercise I do all day everyday and it makes you feel so feminine and beautiful! I want to learn these!
thanks for this!
Hi! Any chance someone could show me where can I find the background song from Hukilau, please? I love it
Magnifique Thank you.
It's not available on Amazon any more..... I would love to see more like this.....
Where the laulau is the kakau at the big luau - What we catch is the meal at the big party
Betty Ann (the lady in this video) played a munchkin in the original 1939 film The Wizard of Oz!!!
She has a new book called, The Munchkin Diary, My Personal Yellow Brick Road.
Wonderful!! Mahalo!
