Eventually your hands will move more easily and look more graceful. When I was a child I used to do this for 5-10 minutes before heading off to sleep. The best part is that it works a lot better than counting sheep. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;PENCIL TRICK:&lt;/span&gt; Pretend that you have a round pencil placed between your thumb and middle finger. Roll the pencil slowly from the base of the middle finger all the way to the tip letting the other fingers follow along. Note: This technique will result in a pronounced middle finger dip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;FINGERS TOGETHER:&lt;/span&gt; Remember to always keep you fingers together. This includes your thumb!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you enjoyed these tips to make YOUR hula hands lovely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;Sarah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美しい手の動きを作る方法&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;フラを踊るときのあなたの手を、しなやかで上品にさせるいくつかのヒントをお教えします。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;１．&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;毎日やる事：&lt;/span&gt;毎晩寝る前に行います。ベッドに横になったら、頭の上に向かって腕を伸ばし、両手を優雅に押さえます。そうすることによって、今まで以上に腕や手が動かしやすくなり、しかも優雅に動くようになります。私が子供のころは、毎晩眠る前に5-10分の間これをしたものです。このプラクティスが最高なのは、それが羊を数えることよりも、断然効き目があるということです(*^―ﾟ)b&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;２．&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;鉛筆トリック：&lt;/span&gt;丸い鉛筆を親指と中指の間にはさんでいると想像してください。中指の付け根から先端までゆっくり鉛筆を転がしてください。その際、他の指も中指に従って動くようにします。※これを行うと、中指がより曲がるようになります。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;３．&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;指をそろえる：&lt;/span&gt;指は常にそろえるようにするのを忘れないように。もちろん、親指も他の指とそろえます。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;これらのヒントを実行して、楽しみながら美しいフラの手を手に入れてくださいね☆&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6931496445692163704-892104325461026719?l=hulaarticles.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HulaArticles/~4/ImLecE1YYYk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HulaArticles/~3/ImLecE1YYYk/how-to-make-lovely-hula-hands.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sarah Chang)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://hulaarticles.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-make-lovely-hula-hands.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931496445692163704.post-6465858624965263149</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Mar 2007 19:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-03-18T16:42:32.080-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Did You Know?</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Hula Trivia</category><title>DID YOU KNOW? Some Hula Trivia</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Halau hula&lt;/b&gt; was traditionally used to refer to the long house or building where hula instruction was held. It is now used to describe a hula school or group. (1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Hilo Hattie &lt;/b&gt;was actually named Clarissa Haili. She was a native Hawaiian elementary school teacher. Clarissa became famous for doing her comic hula "When &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Hilo&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; Hattie Does the Hilo Hop" and for singing and dancing "Cockeyed Mayor of Kaunakakai" cross-eyed. Today there is a popular Hawaiian clothing chain named after her stage character, Hilo Hattie. (2)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. It is popular belief&lt;/b&gt; that hula was traditionally danced by only men. However, there is no documented evidence that states this. The earliest written records actually document women dancing hula in 1778. (3) Furthermore, Mary Kawena Pukui thanks women for learning the old hula dances when the men forgot during a time that "hula [was] looked down upon". (4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Queen Lili`uokalani&lt;/b&gt; was one of the first people to wear Hawaiian heirloom jewelry in the 1860's. It was a fashion she discovered during her trip to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;England&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; that was originally worn by English royals while mourning. Queen Lili`uokalani's bracelet read, "Ho`omana`o Mau" or "Lasting Remembrance". Soon after this, flowers and other royal symbols were engraved on bracelets like the queen's and it became a popular fad for all wealthy island women.(5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. It is thought that the mele ma`i&lt;/b&gt; or procreation dance was reintroduced after a period where it practically vanished because many Hawaiians were becoming sterile due to diseases and royal interfamilial marriage. (6)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. The ku`i step&lt;/b&gt; was created when a member of the Hawaiian royal court was unable to dance because she was wearing a European dress. In the end, she agreed to do the hula but improvised the ku`i or sideward kick so that she wouldn't trip on her gown.

Type of hula you want to study&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Because of the way hula has evolved over the years, there are various opinions regarding the &lt;a href="http://www.hulapreservation.org/hulatypes.asp"&gt;many types of hula&lt;/a&gt; in existence. However, for simplicity’s sake we will break hula down into three major categories: kahiko, `auana, and hapa haole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Kahiko: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;The ancient hula dance performed before Western contact. Today kahiko is known for its traditional costumes, the dancer’s solemn look, and chanting. Kahiko is often considered a sacred religious performance and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hula"&gt;even a tiny error has been known to bring bad luck&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;`Auana:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; The modern hula dance arising from Western influence. Hula `auana is usually danced in a dress or an aloha shirt and slacks. Accompanying music is usually the guitar, the `ukulele, bass and sometimes even the piano. Music is sung in Hawaiian or part English. The hula dancer is free to express joy and smile. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Hapa Haole:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; The steamer boat hula dance arising from &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Hollywood&lt;/st1:place&gt; influence. Hapa Haole hula is known for coconut or bikini top bras, shiny cellophane or green rafia skirts and very brightly colored costumes. The accompanying musical instruments are usually the `ukulele and steel guitar. Examples of Hapa Haole songs are Blue Hawai`i, Pearly Shells and other songs entirely in English.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;2. Level of commitment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;You also will need to decide the how seriously you want to study hula. Although there are currently no known local &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Hawai`i&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; terms for a hula dancer’s level of commitment, these categories are provided for your ease of reference. So, please don’t expect to use these terms when speaking with a local &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Hawai`i&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; person. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Professional: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Dances or teaches hula as a way of living. Keep in mind this takes many years of study. It is standard protocol to ask permission to teach hula from all your hula teachers. It is also common courtesy to ask permission to use any previously choreographed songs and costumes even if you have purchased them yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Advanced: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Regards hula as a way of life and dedicates a significant amount of time to hula. This may sometimes include: hula competitions, Hawaiian religious ceremonies, cultural events, fundraisers and hula shows. Dancers in this category usually belong to one hula halau (hula school) and considers this group as his or her family.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Novice: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Dances hula as a hobby or for health. This person may dance hula shows periodically and usually dedicates about 1 day a week to hula.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Visitor: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Aspires to dance hula to get a taste of Hawai`i. Views hula as a form of entertainment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;3.

Will you be receiving handouts with song or choreography information?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;2.  Will you receive video or pictures of the lesson for future reference?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;3.  What kind of customer service is provided?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;4.  How will you feel after the lesson?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;5.  Will you be able to learn what you want to?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;The cost of hula lessons vary. The following is a list of average fees to expect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;$100-$200/hour: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Private lessons. Study what you want to study at your own leisure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;$10-$15/lesson: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Group halau (Hawaiian word for hula school) lessons. Typically this is a monthly, non-refundable fee of $40-$60. There may also be a registration fee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;$3-$7/lesson: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Community center hula lessons. Registration fee required for $3/lesson discount.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;FREE: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Shopping center hula lessons for visitors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.5in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;4. Atmosphere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;This category is up to personal preference. What one person may love another may hate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Halaus: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;I’ve been told by several hula teachers and dancers that halaus have a family atmosphere. Because group dancers need to dance as one, they generally are persuaded to have similar appearance regarding hair style, length and even eyebrows. Like all families, halaus can seem cliquish to outsiders. However, once you fit in, you are considered family.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Shopping center hula: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;The students here are normally friendly. Although you have the freedom to be yourself, the relationships established may be shallow&lt;b&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;This form of hula is considered entertainment and is not always viewed as authentic by local residents.&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Community center hula: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Generally a mix between halau and shopping center hula atmosphere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Private lessons: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Atmosphere depends on the teacher and yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;5. Teacher Qualifications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;The culture of &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Hawai`i&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; local people is to be very ha`aha`a, or humble about everything. This means that it can be challenging to find out information about your teacher’s qualifications. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Your hula teacher’s qualifications can be sometimes found in the following places: your hula teacher’s website, in a hand out given on the first day of class (very rare), and in local newspapers (&lt;a href="http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage"&gt;Honolulu Advertiser&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://starbulletin.com/"&gt;Star-Bulletin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://midweek.com/"&gt;MidWeek&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Facts to find out include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Experience:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; Find out if your hula teacher is experienced in the area you would like to study. Do you want to dance a hula for someone special? Make sure she or he has danced a lot of hula shows. Do you want to learn cultural knowledge of &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Hawai`i&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;? Research if they have the cultural background. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;`Uniki: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;If you are interested in studying authentic kahiko style hula or cultural knowledge, look for teachers who have undergone intensive training and the `uniki graduation ceremony.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Length of hula study: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Look for someone who has been studying at least 10 years (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Hula&lt;/span&gt;, Hopkins, p. 131) and has their teacher’s permission to teach hula. You wouldn’t study judo or math from someone who took a month long workshop and then decided to hold classes. The same philosophy applies to hula.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;6.

You may find out your hula teacher’s style by watching your hula teacher dance. Things to look for: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Kaholo: 4 counts or 3? Hips in a figure 8 or C?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Feet flat?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;On the balls of your feet?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Hela: Straight? 45 degree angle? Feet pointed? Feet flat?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Fingers: Flowing and graceful? Limited movement?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Arm movements: You’ll notice that your teacher will tend to repeat a certain “signature movement”. It might be with the arms up or out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Facial expressions: Very expressive using the entire face? More reserved?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Dance height: Low (`aiha`a) or high?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Find out who your hula teacher studied under: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;This may give you another indication of what kind of style your hula teacher teaches. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;7. Style of Teaching&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;The most typical style of teaching is &lt;a href="http://www-personal.umich.edu/%7Eakstill/Publications/studyinghula.html"&gt;“watch and follow”. &lt;/a&gt;This is the traditional approach of most hula schools. Some hula teachers are very strict and serious. Others are funny. Some hula teachers encourage you to ask questions. There are others that would rather you quietly ask the assistant teacher or alaka`i during the break.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;The main thing is to find a style of teaching that fits your learning style and personality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Finding the right hula school for yourself is best viewed as a journey. It takes time and patience. While you are on your journey, please remember the Hawaiian saying, “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:14;"  &gt;A`ohe pau ka `ike i ka halau ho`okahi&lt;/span&gt;” &lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;or “Not all knowledge is contained in one school.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;どんなタイプのフラを習いたいか？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;フラは長い年月を経て進化したため、現在沢山の種類があります。そのどれも大&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="mb_0"&gt;きく分ければ、kahiko、 `auana,、hapa haoleという代表的な３種類に当てはま&lt;br /&gt;ります。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kahiko:&lt;/span&gt; 古典的なフラで、ハワイ諸島が西洋人に発見されるよりもずっと以前&lt;wbr&gt;か&lt;br /&gt;ら踊られていました。今日kahiko は伝統的な衣装や厳粛な踊りで知られています&lt;br /&gt;。 Kahikoはしばしば宗教儀式でも踊られ、またどんな小さなミス&lt;wbr&gt;さえも不運をも&lt;br /&gt;たらすと言われています。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;`Auana: &lt;/span&gt;現代的なフラ（モダンフラ）で、西洋の影響を受けたものです。&lt;wbr&gt;`auana&lt;br /&gt;は通常、アロハシャツとスラックス、またはドレスを着て踊ります&lt;wbr&gt;。大抵はギタ&lt;br /&gt;ー、ウクレレ、ベースなどを使いますが、時々ピアノを使用すること&lt;wbr&gt;もあります&lt;br /&gt;。歌は英語またはハワイ語で歌われています。また&lt;wbr&gt;、ダンサーは自由に楽しみ、&lt;br /&gt;微笑む事ができます。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hapa Haole: &lt;/span&gt;航海時代に汽船で踊られていたフラです。ハリウッドの影響を大き&lt;br /&gt;く受け、ココナッツブラやビキニトップ、緑色のセロファンやヤシの&lt;wbr&gt;葉のスカー&lt;br /&gt;トなど、カラフルな衣装を身につけて踊ります。その殆どがウクレレ&lt;wbr&gt;とスチール&lt;br /&gt;ギターを使います。歌詞はすべて英語で、Blue HawaiiやPearly Shells等があり&lt;br /&gt;ます。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="JA"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;2. &lt;span lang="JA"&gt;レベル分けについて&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;あなたがどのくらいフラを本気で習いたいかが重要になります。&lt;br /&gt;クラス分けの為にはレベル分けをしますが、実際は級やレベル等フラにはありません。&lt;br /&gt;ローカルの人たちと話をする時は、そのクラス分けをレベルとして用いないでください。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="direction: ltr;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;    プロフェッショナル: &lt;/span&gt;フラを仕事として踊ったり教えたりすることです。フラを&lt;br /&gt;プロとして踊る、または教えることには長年の修練を要することを&lt;wbr&gt;肝に命じてく&lt;br /&gt;ださい。あなたがフラを教えるためには、あなたを教えた全ての先&lt;wbr&gt;生に許可を得&lt;br /&gt;るというのが基本的な慣習（礼儀作法）です。また&lt;wbr&gt;、以前に振り付けされた曲や&lt;br /&gt;コスチュームを使う時は、たとえあなたが自分で購入したものでも&lt;wbr&gt;、それらを使&lt;br /&gt;用する許可を求めるのが礼儀です。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;    上級者：&lt;/span&gt;  フラを生活の一部として考え、多くの時間をフラに費やし&lt;wbr&gt;ます。フラの&lt;br /&gt;競技会、ハワイの宗教儀式、文化行事、資金集めやフラショーなど&lt;wbr&gt;に参加するこ&lt;br /&gt;ともあります。これらのダンサーは通常、一つのフラの教室や学校&lt;wbr&gt;に所属し、そ&lt;br /&gt;のグループを家族と考えています。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;    初心者:&lt;/span&gt;  趣味や健康の為にフラを踊ります。定期的にフラのショー&lt;wbr&gt;で踊ったりもし、&lt;br /&gt;１週間のうち１日程度をフラに費やします。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;    体験者：&lt;/span&gt;  ハワイの雰囲気を味わうためフラを踊ることに憧れ&lt;wbr&gt;、娯楽の一つとして&lt;br /&gt;捉えています。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;費用&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;費用は目的や人数、時間などによってそれぞれ異なります。これは目安の金額です。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;$100-$200/&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;１時間&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;個人レッスン。あなた自身が知りたい事を習う事ができます。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;$10-$15/&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;１レッスン&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;グループハラウレッスン。（&lt;/span&gt; halau=&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;ハワイ語でフラ教室意味）通常、１ヶ月４０ドルから６０ドルで払い戻しはありません。また入会金が必要な所もあります。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;$3-$7/&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;１レッスン：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="JA"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;コミュニティーセンターでのレッスン。ディスカウントレッスン（３ドル）には予約が必要です。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;無料&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;旅行者や体験者の為のレッスン。ショッピングセンターなどで催されています。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;これは個人の好みによります。ある人は好きでも、他の人は好きではないこともあるでしょう。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;ハラウ&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;何 人かのフラの先生にハラウの雰囲気を聞くと、ハラウとは家族みたいなものだと言います。なぜなら彼らはグループで踊るために、みな髪型、髪の長さ、また眉 に関してさえ、合わせていることが多いからです。外部の人にとってそれは派閥にも見えますが、一度入るとあなたも家族だと考えられます。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;ショッピングセンター：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;ここにくる生徒は大抵友好的です。特に規則もなく由ですが、ハラウのような一体感は薄いでしょう。この形式は一つの娯楽だと考えられ、地元の人にとっては正統派のフラでないと見られています。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;コミュニティーセンター：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="JA"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;一般的にハラウとショッピングセンターの中間くいの雰囲気です。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;個人レッスン：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="JA"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;教える&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;先生とあなたの態度によって多種多様です。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

text-indent: -4.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;ハワイの人々の文化はとても謙虚で控えめです。これは、あなたが教師の資格に関する情報を探す場合に、とても見つけにくく大変であることを意味しています。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-indent: 0.05pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;あなたはフラの先生の資格について、次の所で見つける事が出来ます。あなたのフラの先生のウェブサイト、クラスの初日にもらったチラシ（非常にめずらしいですが）そして、地方紙（&lt;/span&gt;Honolulu Advertiser, Star-Bulletin, MidWeek&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;）などです。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;経験：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;あ なたのフラの先生が、あなたの教わりたい事に関しての経験があるかどうかを調べてください。もしあなたが、誰かあなたの特別な人の為に踊りたいと思うな ら、先生が多くのフラショーで踊った事があるかどうか、人にフラを見せる経験が豊富かどうかを明確にしてください。もしあなたがハワイの文化を踏まえてフ ラを学びたいのなら、彼らにハワイ文化に関してのバックグラウンドがあるかどうかを調べてください。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Uniki&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;もしあなたが古典フラやハワイの文化について興味があるなら、集中的にレッスンを受け、そして&lt;/span&gt;Uniki&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;を持った先生を探してください&lt;b&gt;。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;（※&lt;/span&gt;Uniki&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;：卒業すること。一定の期間、同じ先生について勉強しなければ、ウニキを受けることはできません。また、資格のあるクムフラ以外は、ウニキを授けることもできません。）&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;どれくらいの期間勉強したか：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;少なくとも１０年はフラを勉強してきた先生を探してください。あなたが何かを習う場合、１ヶ月だけ研修を受けた人から学びたいとは思わないはずです。フラを学ぶときにも同じ事がいえます。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;あなたの先生のダンスを見てください：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="JA"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;同じ名前のステップでも教える先生によってさまざまな&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;スタイルがあります。あなたは、先生のダンスを見る事により、あなたに合ったスタイルを見つけ出す事が出来るかもしれません。&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;例えば･･･&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kaholo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="JA"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;ステップは&lt;/span&gt;3&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;歩か、または&lt;/span&gt;4&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;歩か。腰は&lt;/span&gt;8&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;の字を描いているか、&lt;/span&gt;C&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;を描いているか。ステップする時に足全体をつけるか、上げているか？など。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hela&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;足はまっすぐ前に出しているか、斜め&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;45&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;度か。足全体を床につけるか、それともつま先だけか？など。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;指の動き：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;なだらかで上品に動くか、それともあまり指を動かさないか。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;腕の動き：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;あなたの先生がよく使う傾向のある「サインとなる動き」に気づくでしょう。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;顔の表情：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="JA"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;感情豊かに表現しているか、それとも控えめか。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;踊る位置（高さ）：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="JA"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;踊る位置が低いか、高いか。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;あなたの先生は何に基づいて勉強したのか：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;それはどんなスタイルのフラをあなたに教えるかを示すかもしれません。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;教え方&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;もっとも典型的な教え方は「見て、まねる」方法です。これはほとんどのフラスクールで行われている伝統的なやりかたです&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;フラの先生の中にはとても厳しく真剣な人もいますし、面白い先生もいます。先生の中には、質問を歓迎する人もいますが、中には先生は質問を受け付けず、助手の人や&lt;/span&gt;alakai&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;（クムフラでの助手）に休憩時間中に質問するようにさせる人もいます。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;大切な事は、あなたの個性や勉強方法に合ったフラの先生を見つける事です。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-indent: 0.05pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;正しいフラスクールの見つけ方はあなた自身が旅行で訪れて見る事です。それ時間もかかり忍耐も必要です。でもこの言葉をどうか忘れないで下さい。&lt;/span&gt;“A`ohe pau ka `ike i ka halau ho`okahi”&lt;span style="" lang="JA"&gt;「すべての知識をひとつの学校で得る事は出来ない」ということを。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
