Hula Dancing Isn't Just Reserved for Women

When you think of Hawaii, you might think of beautiful women in grass skirts and coconut shell tops dancing the hula. But the hula is so much more than just a dance. It's a huge part of Hawaiian culture and tradition, and this traditional dance is used as part of a religious ceremony to honor Hawaiian history and the gods they serve. The dance is also a traditional way to pass down stories from generation to generation.

And while many people associate this dance with female dancers, most hula dances actually begin with a man dancing center stage. Today, men and women share the stage to bring these stories to life.
