Hawaiian Dance and Music
By: Ryan Wood 5-c
About This CultureOne thing that this culture has in common with other cultures is that the songs and dances all have meanings.
Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
The Hula is a dance that really means something to the Hawaiians. It means that they believe in their goddesses to keep their land and creator to be safe.
An important thing about Hawaiian culture is that they are a religious. Everything they do like dances and songs, is believed that it was 100% religious.
The Hula
The Ha'a or the Hula is a very emotional dance. The Hawaiians were very precise and respective to the dance. The Hula or the Ha'a as it was called before
the 19th century, was kept a sacred dance that only people that prayed to the goddess would go to church and dance the Hula. Many hours of the Hawaiians
days would be in church dancing the Hula. It would show their goddess that they loved their land and their deities. They believed that if anything was done wrong in the dance that their history would change. It was used to keep record of everything they did. While they were dancing, they would chant a song and then leave their leis on the altar for their goddess. Dance is important in this culture because if there was no dance than they would only have music.

THE MELE
The Mele is the song that gives life to the Hula. Every time they would dance the Hula, they would have to dance to the Mele. The
song has a meaning just like the Hula has a few meanings. The Mele was done in the honor of their Polynesian deities. Wile the citizens
were chanting the Mele, other citizens were playing drums made out of shark skins, gourds, and bamboo rattles. Every Mele tells a story about their life in Hawaii. Basically the Mele gives life to the Hula
and tells story's about their land and goddesses. Music is important in this culture because it gives life to the dances that this culture
has. Huladancehq.com
