Hula has three purposes: to entertain, to inspire and to instruct. It's the Hawaiian cultural vehicle not just in a historical way but also in a social way. Hula is a vital expression of Hawaiian culture and it is performed throughout the world. Can Hula keep its authenticity outside of Hawaii into other countries and cultures? It can because it's a universal language. It is about feeling the spirit of Hawaii and about giving unconditionally and finding peace within. Hawaiian dance could be whatever you want it to be- a motion as a language or a medium of communicating images, feelings, and beliefs. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you came from, as long as you have love for hula, you are part of it.
