CONCLUSION

In the past the meanings of the dancing still represent what they

are now but many changes have occurred with the art of hula dancing

photos. The woman are more exotic and slender. In the past it was

not about making a profit from the hula dancing but showing the love

of the land, life, and nature as one.
