____________________________________________________________________
Using the English translation, let’s begin with the hands:
Starting with the vamp, right and left.

Verse 2:
“We are your guests at Kona"
Both high & wave down sides to outline self (4 waves)
Left up, r touch & wave down to show the land

“By invitation with love for us"
Right at eye, l touch & out, reverse
Embrace & open forward and out to sides

Vamp in between each verse and repeat.

Now let's do the hands and feet in slow motion together. We will dance this verse 3x through. Each time, I will count and give you foot prompts. We will start with 4 kaholo, learning a 1/4 turn to the right and left, dancing a ihope, which means to go back, as well as imua, to come forward.


Now let’s dance the second verse together in real time, three times through.

TIP: Memorize the lyrics to help you tell the story of the hula. It will also help you remember the order of the motions.

I KONA by James Kelepolo

Verse 1:
Aia i Kona kai ʻōpua i ka laʻi
There at Kona are the cloud banks and calm seas

ʻAʻohe lua e like ai me ʻoe
Second to none, you are incomparable

Verse 2:
Malihini mākou iā ʻoe i Kona
We are your guests in Kona

I ke kono a ke aloha no mākou
By invitation, with love for us
