K so i went to Auana night thinking I was gonna hate it, and that Ive always hated watching auana hula....and.....i still hate it!! well to an extent! i have a new way of seeing it...ive learned that if you dont think of it as a Hawaiian thing, and just think of it as a dance...then im at a dancer concert watching broadway dances, line dances, or even hiphop dance...its fine...its a form of art...and not hawaiian....and when i thought of it that way, because thats what it is, i could enjoy it....i stopped wondering about the connection between gracefull moves and hawaiian culture, and how your hands look like the rain and how that was ever done in old Hawai'i....i just watched as if i was watching an art...which i was....not culture...an art....and guess what...i stayed the whole night!! of course there was some lame parts and some really boring hula, but for the most part....i was "entertained" in some form or another and thus could stay the whole night...yes, "entertained"...not cultured as if i had just experienced culture, but entertained, like i had just watched a program on tv....all in all...good nite, plenty of frens dancing, plenty of beautiful women dancing, which you can never complain about, and some hilarious moments by some men's halau....but as it is entertainment, its all good!!!this art we watched, needs a name...if only it had a name that we could call it...
