Description: A list of definitions from the Hawaiian Dictionary.
Nā Keʻehi I Ka Haʻa Contributed and Researched by Kalani N. Poʻomaiahealani The following list is meant to encourage those interested in the cultural dance of Hawaiʻi. You're invited to learn what has been forgotten with the passage of time. The first 26 dance steps (nā keʻehi i ka haʻa) are recorded in the Hawaiian Dictionary authored by Mary Kawena Pukui and Samuel H. Elbert. Most of them are used today but others are probably unheard of by many modern day students and still others have been taught with different names. Some of the steps are called by more than one name and will be listed together. There are steps, nā keʻehi, that are not listed in the dictionary as hula steps, but have names that describe the action of the step and still there are others, with names whose origin is obscure. Each of the 3 groups will be listed separately. The term haʻa is used instead of hula. Haʻa as defined in the dictionary : a dance with bent knees; dancing; called hula after mid 1800's. To simplify matters, the following explanations will be given, beginning with a rightward movement.
