More people are traveling to more locations on ever more adventurous vacation trips than ever before. The travel industry is exploding like never before, and after all, why shouldn’t it? As the incomparable Cole Porter so perfectly put it, “There’s No Cure Like Travel!” That song comes from Anything Goes, a Broadway smash hit back in the day with several successful revivals over the decades. As the titular song so rightly notes, “Times have changed,” with one “De-Lovely” innovation after another taking what was old and making it new and fresh for a new era.

Such a sentiment fits the world of hula auana in Hawaii to a tee. Here’s what you can expect from one of the most refreshing and invigorating cultural experience in the whole of the Hawaiian Islands.

Hula with a Modern Twist

So what is hula auana, precisely? Simply put, it’s the term that refers to hula developed or otherwise influenced by musical elements arriving in Hawaii after the 1980s, which marked the arrival of Americans on the islands. As such, whereas more traditional forms of hula are a great way of learning about Hawaiian culture in an older and more essentialized state, hula auana is all about innovation and multiculturalism. In a world that’s rapidly becoming a marvelous melting pot of different cultures, this form of hula is all about marrying different musical traditions to the already-legendary brilliance and beauty of hula. If you’ve ever wondered what Golden Oldies or the pop music of today would be like with a hula twist, this is the place to experience it.

Great Food at Great Prices

And why not do so while enjoying great food at great prices? The best luaus in Hawaii often offer hula in one form or another, and the best places to see hula auana often offer the latest food dishes to go with it.
