This is the second of our foundation numbers for the well-rounded hula dancer. This hula classic builds on the footwork perfected in Kawika listed above, and adds several more basic steps to the dancer's repertoire. Lili'u E is a mele inoa, or personal song of praise for Lili'uokalani, the last monarch of Hawaii. It is appropriate for all ages and both sexes. (55 minutes)
