      It works on haole women, too....

      Kane kahiko is my favorite; dramatic and powerful. I'm glad they posted it on youtube; I watched a bunch of videos on the kitv website yesterday. I loved Cherissa's auana, and really liked the Waipahu Halau Hula O Hokulani kahiko with their powerful dance and the cool underskirts that chattered throughout the dance.

      Most of what I saw was through the videos on kitv.com; DH doesn't like to watch it, and that way I get past most of the commercials. Unfortunately I miss a lot of the explanations, too.

        Yay for MM 2010!! Unfortunately, tonight's broadcast seems to be having audio problems. There's no sound!! Is anyone else experiencing this?

            I, too, have audio. That said, they've had 1 hour to straighten it out since TG's post. It's absolutely gorgeous in HD.

              Another win for Ke Kai O Kahiki! YAY!

              The highlight of last night (one of many) was the tribute to Uncle George Na'ope - to see everyone around the stadium dancing to his song, including kumu and the judges, was so touching. I must admit, I did shed a tear!

              Lowlight (IMO) was that Johnny Lum Ho's halau did not place for wahine kahiko or auana. I don't know the politics and without being fluent in 'olelo hawai'i, i realize i can never truly 'understand' hula but I know what I like and I thought his halau were fantastic - esp. the tribute to kalaupapa (kahiko). WOW! Of course, the judges did not agree...
