Want some island fun? This song and the dance that goes with it are a great introduction to Hula dancing.

Lyrics:

Show me how to do the hula
Like they do in Honolulu
Where they dance the hula hula
To honi ka ua wiki wiki

First you sway and move your hands
Like the waves fall on the sands
And then you smile a pretty smile
To honi ka ua wiki wiki

Around the island you must go
You move so sweet and slow
And then you sway just like the trees
As they're caught in a tropic breeze

Now you've learned to do the hula
Like they do in Honolulu
Where they dance the hula hula
To honi ka ua wiki wiki
