Oh, wow. I love the music and the dancing is very good, but the woman looks like a stripper.

Take a look at some of this Hula Dancing links. It is amazing how two cultures so far apart geographically can have such a similar type of dance.

Hi Elisabeth....really nice links, but actually the first one is Tahitian, the second is Hawaiian.
There are some basic stylistic differences. I think you can see them more easily here:
Hula
Tahitian
In the area I live there are many people here from Hawaii and other Pacific islands, thus I have seen the dance styles many times from my classmates and neighbors. They are very protective of their dance and do not teach the "real" dance to outsiders for fear of them commercializing and spoiling it.
I don't like the commercial styles, but these are not commercial links. This has to do with their religion. There are very distinct styles for the women and the man. The Hawaiian dance uses the arms and hands to tell a story.
I agree, there is a similarity of movements, but I'm afraid the Belly Dance has become much to commercialized for my taste.

Thanks for the links Alameda...on second look, I think (at least in my mind - which isn't necessarily an indication of fact) that the Tahitian seems somewhat similar to bellydancing in movement whereas the Hawaiian Hula is more lyrical.
