Question

Is it better to learn the Hula before or during a visit to Hawaii?

Answer 1

during.  what's hawaii without a hula lesson? go ahead and be a stereotypical cheesy hawaiian tourist it's fun!  

Answer 2

If you get the opportunity before, why not, it always looks similar to belly dancing to me, just more elegant. Happy Holidays.

Answer 3

If you have time before perhaps you should learn it.  But, it would most likely to learn it during your stay in Hawaii to learn the authentic way the dance is performed.  However it is your choice because of course learning the hula could shorten your time in Hawaii.
