I found Taina Passmore to be a very warm hearted person while teachng the children on her video. She always kept smiling and that seemed to have welcomed the children for learning. My 8 year old niece enjoyed watching and learning and now she dances Hula with the basics she has learned from this video. Will there every be any more videos by Taina and if so, when? Mahalo for this opportunity!

Easy hula for children who are not familiar with hula. Ourchildren age 1, 3, 4 and 10 were doing the hula after one watching.

This was a terrific tape for my 7-year old daughter who was having a "hula" birthday party. It was easy to follow (even my 4-year old joined in!) and had some nice, easy routines for the kids.

I ordered this tape because my 7-year old daughter wanted to do a "hula" birthday party. The Hula For Children was perfect. Basic steps were taught so the children could actually perform a couple of simple dance routines. Even my 4-year old could follow along. Great tape.

I just reviewed this, we'll be using this to teach our Brownie Girl Scout troop the dance for Pearly Shells as part of the Aloha! Patch project. My daughter and her friend are very excited to show how quickly they picked up on the steps, and can't wait to perform for our local service unit at our luau!!

My daughter and I are very disappointed with this video. The feet instructions are very vague during the 2nd and 3rd dances. For the 2nd dance, she shows us the arm movements from right to left, but when it's time to perform the dance, the kids are doing the dance from left to right! She does give us a brief foot instruction before the 2nd dance, but you are supposed to sit during the routine.
The instructor is pleasant and the kids are cute, but the film quality is very poor. It looks like a cheap home video. The tape is also very short. It is highly over-priced.

I "found" this VHS tape at a thrift store for only 99 cents!!! Is it ever a treasure; my 4 year old students and I LOVED it! We did a small presentation for the parents and they were so proud of their kids. I only wish I could purchase this on DVD.

I can't wait to teach Pearly Shells to my students. Thank You!

This hula video is good for those who have never had experience dancing the hula before, but I found the kumu hula (instructor) 'Leina'ala Kuloloio' in the video "Be a hula Girl" to be much more warm, fun, interesting & enjoyable to watch. Leina'ala also teaches a fun 'learning' warm up before you start, along with a few hawaiian words (other than the basic hula steps). Granted, it's not performed in 'mirror image'~ but Leina'ala is a more graceful dancer whose heart really seems to be with the kids. Hope this helps..=) LeiLani Ke'Aloha !!!
