﻿Hello, I'm Sarah, and today we're going to learn all about holidays. Now, I'd like to go on a holiday somewhere hot, like Hawaii. In Hawaii, they do a dance called the Hula dance. So, today we're going to learn all about holidays through the Hula dance. For this lesson, you will need your body being ready to move, a mirror to see yourself in. Press pause while you get things ready. Let's get ready. Find a quiet and clear space to work, away from distractions. Check you're comfortable and ready to begin learning. Make sure you are wearing clothes you can move in. Make sure your resources are nearby. Press pause while you get things ready. It's time to look, listen, learn. Now it's time for a bucket. And then next, it will be time to make a lei. But now it's time for a bucket. ♪ I've got something in my bucket ♪ ♪ In my bucket, in my bucket ♪ ♪ I've got something in my bucket ♪ ♪ I wonder what it is ♪ Oh. Look, a grass skirt. Let's wear it.

Thread it through. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Tie it together. Pop it on. I've made a lei. Making a lei has finished. Now it's time for a copy game. And next, it will be time to dance. But now it's time for a copy game. Before we start, make sure you have plenty of space around you, so you don't bump into anything. And check in with your body. Do you feel okay to be moving today? I know that I do. Are we ready? Steady, go. ♪ Copy me do, copy me do ♪ ♪ I do this stretch out wide, and you do it too ♪ Stretch out wide.

Last one. ♪ Copy me do, copy me do ♪ ♪ I do this pull in the nets, pull in the nets ♪ ♪ And you do it too ♪ Pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Very good. Our copying game has finished. So, now it's time for us to learn our dance. Remember, before we start, make sure that you've plenty of space to move. Check in with your body again. Do I feel okay to be moving today? I know that I do. So we're going to learn a Kahola step, which is step with our legs. And then our Hula arm movements, some fishing arms and some wave arms. Let's get ready. Let's start with our Kahola steps. We're using our legs. So let's try the copying game that we did earlier. I'll have a go, then you'll have a go. Are we ready? Starting with our legs. Step together, step together. Step together, step together. Your turn. Step together, step together. Step together, step together. Very nice, let's try it again at the same time. One, two, three, four. Step together, step together. Step together, step together. Well done. Pause the video and rewind if you want to practise. Resume once you're finished. Now it's time for us to learn some Hula dance arm movements. The Hula dance is all about telling stories, and Hawaii is right on the ocean. So let's use some fishing arms. We're going to pull in the nets, pull in the nets. And then the other way, pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Now your turn. One, two, three, four. Pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Good work. Let's try it together, one, two, three, go. Pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Good work. Pause the video and rewind if you want to practise. Resume once you're finished. Now, we're going to learn some more Hula dance arm moves. Remember, we said that Hawaii is right on the ocean. So we're going to do some wave arms now. Wave like the ocean, wave like the ocean. So you're moving your arms up and down, just like the waves. Should we try it again together? Wave like the ocean, wave like the ocean. Very nice. Now it's your turn, one, two, three, go. Wave like the ocean, wave like the ocean. Very good, let's do it again together. One, two, three, four. Wave like the ocean, wave like the ocean. Very nice. Pause the video and rewind if you want to practise. Resume once you're finished. Now let's put our dance together. We're going to do the Kahola legs and the fishing arms. After four. One, two, three, four. Pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Very nice, and now let's do the wave arms with the Kahola legs. One, two, three, four. Wave arms, wave arms. Wave arms, wave arms. Very good, now let's do both. We'll do the fishing arms, pulling in those nets. Both sides. And then we'll do the wave arms, along with our Kahola legs. Are you ready? Steady, go. Pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Pull in the nets, pull in the nets. Wave arms, wave arms. Wave arms, wave arms. Wow, what amazing work. Fantastic dancing. Pause the video and rewind if you want to practise. Resume once you're finished, Which was your favourite dance move? I really liked the fishing arms, pulling in those nets, and I really liked doing it at the same time with the Kahola legs. Really excellent work today, everyone. Good job. Today, we have learned all about holidays and we've done that through learning a Hula dance. I really, really liked those fishing arms, and I quite like the wave arms too. We've learned all about holidays. And our dance has finished. Excellent work, everybody, well done.
