Getting Ready to Sway

These young women are just about ready to step on the stage at the Hawaii Book and Music Festival on the grounds of Honolulu Hale, which means "city hall", in the heart of the city.   They are from Halau Hula Ka Noeau.  I love the smiles on their faces.  Learning to dance hula starts at a very young age and continues forever.  It's so special for me to be at celebrations and watch children dance and then watch their grandmothers dance, too.  Once you learn to dance hula, you dance on and on and on.
