Hot Hula was developed in the Hawaiian Islands by the Polynesians, who originally settled there. The hula dramatizes or portrays the words of the oli or mele in a visual dance form. There are two main positions of a hula dance – either sitting (noho dance) or standing (luna dance). Some dances utilize both forms.
Hula dancing is a complex art form, and there are many hand motions used to represent the words in a song or chant. For example, hand movements can signify aspects of nature, such as the swaying of a tree in the breeze or a wave in the ocean, or a feeling or emotion, such as fondness or yearning.

The history of tango began in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the late 19th century. The dance started in the lower-class districts of Buenos Aires taking place in the periphery of the city, bars, cafes and courtyards. Then tango took the next step into more established Dancing Houses and later inside middle and high-class Argentinian homes.
Do you feel yourself drawn to Argentine Tango?
You’re not alone. Argentine Tango is among the most beautiful dance forms in history, and possibly the most passionate.
Frequent dancing apparently makes us smarter. A major study added to the growing evidence that stimulating one’s mind can ward off some bad deseases like Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia, much as physical exercise can keep the body fit. Dancing also increases cognitive acuity at all ages.
It’s great for our brain an memory to learn something new. Not just dancing, but anything new. Don’t worry about the probability that you’ll never use it in the future. Take a class to challenge your mind. It will stimulate the connectivity of your brain by generating the need for new pathways. Difficult and even frustrating classes are better for you, as they will create a greater need for new neural pathways.
Dancing integrates several brain functions at once, increasing your connectivity. Dancing simultaneously involves kinesthetic, rational, musical and emotional processes.
