Hula Performance by Mahea Uchiyama Center for International Dance

-

Mahea Uchiyama Center for International Dance will perform a Hula dance at the Central Children's Room. Come and see intricate combinations of footwork, hip movements, and gestures illustrating prayers, honor songs and historical epics, the movement is connected to the words which are being chanted or sung. More than just a collection of pretty movements, hula is a culturally based system steeped in ritual, commemorating myth and legend, a pantheon of deities and their earthly descendants, sacred symbols, ancestral beings, procreation and forces of nature. 

This event is for children and their caregivers.
