This hula classic, that praises the highly esteemed green rose of Hawaii, was composed by the famous Johnny Almeida. It is a perfect beginning hula because it uses many basic hula steps one verse at a time, allowing the student easier mastery. It is a lively and fun number suitable for children or adults and any level of dancer from beginners through advanced. Lovely 10-year-old Pikake dances it for you in a ti leaf skirt like the one Lilo wears in the children's animated movie "Lilo and Stitch". Includes a bonus segment at the end: "Making a Head Lei" using the green rose of Hawaii. (52 minutes)
