Highly accessible but detailed overview of hula history, technique, and culture.

A visual and contextual pleasure as history, ethnography and art were conglomerated in an easy-read book.

This book was wonderful for my research on hula. We’ll written and interesting.

[Bethany · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting information and a quick read. The author sometimes waxes a little poetic about pre-contact Hawaiian culture but that's understandable given the subject matter.
