  • The hula is so alluring, yet it takes so many different forms. Case in point, just about everyone has seen the hula on display at a luau, but have you ever seen a keiki hula competition? They have displays at the Lahaina Cannery Mall, those kids start so young.

    My favorite has to be when we saw Hapa in concert at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center (twice). Both times, Miss Aloha 2002 Malia Peterson performed her hula stylings to Hapa's already mystical music. It has to have been the most beautiful display of the hula that I have ever seen.
