What better way to forget the stress of city life than to take a journey to Hawaii and learn to hula? Or better yet, save the cost of the ticket and learn to hula here in Hong Kong.
Hawaiian music and hula have been enjoying a surge in popularity over the past couple of weeks, after former DJ and music critic Wong Chi-chung and his wife Yvonne Siet Wong brought Hawaiian musicians and dancers here for the Hawaiian Family Festival.
Four-time winner of the Hawaiian equivalent of the Grammy award - the Na Hoku Hanohano - Nohelani Cypriano said many Hawaiian songs contained beautiful messages of love, and the hula expressed that in dance.
'Our hula is the dance of the island, and the dancers start at a very young age,' Cypriano said.
'When people think of Hawaii, they think of beaches, and the beauty of the islands' nature and people.
'Hawaiian people hug and kiss in a way that shows they really mean it. That's what needs to happen in the world.'
