At the Hawaiian Concert

We have the Hawaiian concert in my Cafe.
Most costumers of the concert enjoyed dancing Hula.
I also danced Hula with my friends of Hula school.
The song that we danced is "Waika".
This song is very beautiful slow song.

I leave the Hula school that I was taught, so I can't dance Hula that I learn at that school.
But I want to enjoy Hula in my style!!

Giboshi is the flower of summer in Japan.

Of course, the length of flower and leaf, the balance, the position and the angle are also important.
