It is not known how or when the hula was invented. It is a traditional Hawaiian dance with roots in ancient Polynesian religion. There are several forms of hula:

  • Traditional hula, a sacred dance in honor of the goddess Laka.
  • Hula ku'i, created in the 19th century under the patronage of Princess Ruth Keelikolani. The dance, whose name means "to combine old and new", has aspects of traditional hula but does not use many sacred religious symbols.
  • Modern hula, the most widely-practiced of the three in contemporary times. Modern hula originated in the 20th century for tourists shows and films.
