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.
