The Royal Hula-hula dancing girls were a feature of
olden days in Hawaii. The Hula-Hula is acting out by
gestures and movements the ideas expressed by the songs
which accompany them. The time is marked by strik-
ing on 'gourds or hokeo and in some instances these
dancers are in honor of the Gods or chelf as the alaapa-
apa. The professional hula dancers are devotees of the
Goddess Laka. The dancers are generally women,
though children are sometimes engaged in the less ob-
jectionable dances and men act as buffoons between
the acts
