It can be easy to get bogged down in the humdrum greyness of our modern world. If you live on the East Coast, you know all too well the sensation of being stuck waiting for the bus or subway atop or beneath layers and layers of stained, sticky, dull grey cement. If you live on the West Coast, you know all too well the feeling of being stuck in traffic for hours on end as the infamous 405 and 15 freeways take forever to get you anywhere.
Given all that, the urge to get away from it call can be all too understandable, which is why you’ll want to book your reservations for the best Hula Auana in Hawaii today!
The Origins of Luaus
The origins of luaus and hulas go back hundreds of years. Similar to so many dance and festival traditions around the world, they were originally intended as religious ceremonies. The interpretive dances and festivals were a big part of that tradition, with the foods eaten and the dances performed all having religious significance.
That said, today’s Hula Auana performances are a mixture of Western dance traditions blended together with Hawaiian ones. These tend to be expressive in nature and are led in part by a lead singer with a stringed instrument such as a steel guitar or bass.
Hulas Today
There are many different types of hulas that are practiced and performed today, from those which are rooted most firmly in their traditional beginnings to those that have sought to branch out and blend with other styles of music and culture. When you vacation to Hawaii, you’ll be able to witness a whole range of Hula Auana performances while sampling the best luau feasts that the islands have to offer.
