7.Hawaii is a truly beautiful place.Most people know Hawaii for its lovely beaches.However,Hawaii is also a land full of legends(传奇).One of the oldest legends tells of a special dance called the hula,which started here around 300 years ago.One hula teacher tells the story of how the dance started."The hula started,as far as the legend there,when Hi'iaki and her good friend Hopoe went down to the beach.And then,when they were there.they noticed the waves(波浪)…and they imitated the waves.And they started to use their hands…like showing the waves.That's how the hula started."
However,not everyone has always liked the hula.In 1820,some religious people from Western countries came to Hawaii.The visitors were shocked by the hula because the dancers were not wearing many clothes.So they asked the local government to ban (禁止)the dance.
After that,most Hawaiians were not allowed to perform the hula in public for almost 60 years.But that did not mean the dancing stopped.Many dancers still performed the hula in secret.
The dance was always there.
Things have changed.At the moment,people of all ages want to study the old culture.They want to learn how to dance the hula.As a result,more and more people are attending halaus.Halaus are special schools that teach the hula in the traditional way.
Kumano is a hula teacher.For him,the dance is a way to bring the best of old Hawaii culture to people today.Kumano says that the dance is not really about the body.He feels that it is more about the mind.He explains his feelings,"…the hula is more…not so much a physical thing,but more of a metal thing.For new dancers,the dancing means very little,because for Hawaiians today,many of them don't speak the Hawaiian language.So,what I try to do is to bring to mind the real thing they see today."
