Dancers
"...Haabunai and Song of the Nightingale again evoked
the thrumming beat of the great drums, and the dance began.
This was a tragedy of the sea, a pantomime of danger
and conflict and celebration."
(White Shadows in the South Seas by Frederick O'Brien {with Rose Wilder Lane})

(From MMMarmel: "Tali and Millie are having an entertaining evening on
Spontoon taking hula lessons. They sure can shake it! I rather suspect
Millie is going to be shaking it a bit more when she discovers
she's wandered too close to a tiki torch... Sure hope that's not one
of those tourist 'grass skirts' made of flash paper!")
Tali Hartoh Mason (page has Mature art) is from MMMarmel,

"Both (teachers) jealously eyed our rapid improvement in hula...
Our charivari of record playing, feet stamping, women squabbling,
shrieks of laughter made a welcome interlude.... By end of evening,
strands from our dancing skirts littered the floor."
(Sound of the Stars, by Frances M. Parsons, 1971 - page 396, 14 January, 1941)

"Miri doing a hula" - (Larger file here - 328 Kb)
Art by Tegerio - Character by Walt Reimer
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tegerio/
Miri is the wife of Ranua Milikonu (officer of the RINS),
and appears in some of the stories of "Tales from Rain Island"
(Upload 6 February 2013)
"Twin and I glued our eyes on Miri's professional (hula) dance,
figuring out each movement. Constant drilling left us hours smarter.
Samoa's hand dance fascinated us the most. By dinnertime, we were
exhausted, but happy how well we rated in Miri's eyes."
(Sound of the Stars, by Frances M. Parsons, 1971 - page 386, 28 December, 1940)

Testing
the HulaRamba (Ken Fletcher)
From the canoe she took a half-coconut shell and showed me
how to beat a syncopated rhythm on the side of the outrigger.
She was pleased when I struck the rhythm correctly
the first time - she couldn't know it was the same kind
I'd heard so many times on the dance floors of America.

Tiki Torch
& Lantern Dance (Ken Fletcher)
Sometimes at night there were rattles and bangs and thumps
from the village. This meant the locals were practicing 'Items',
native songs and dances -- hulas for the girls and men, Manihiki
drum dances -- to be inserted in concert programs or among
European dances at parties. They were always called 'Items'.

South Seas, by Nancy Phelan, 1996 - page 160)
