Dance can tell a story, invoke a feeling, get an audience on its feet, or, in this case, make my heart melt from cuteness!
From ancient Chinese dance rituals all the way to the small children in Africa who don't have much, but are so happy when they dance, dance really is one thing that we can all agree makes the world a better place.
I believe culture and traditions are so important to uphold, so this next video really made me smile when I found it. The little girl in it is only one year old, but she has already started to learn how to hula like her Hawaiian ancestors.
Years ago, I spent some time on a Tahitian island and absolutely fell in love with hula dancing and performances. Before then, I didn't know that the dance is really more of a physical prayer and expression of thanks. It's way more of a spiritual practice than I ever imagined!
While the cutie-pie in this video doesn't exactly know what she's doing just yet, she's actually really talented. At first, I just thought she was bopping around, doing what babies do best. Then, around 15 seconds into the video, she starts to hula like she's been doing it for a long time…which is funny, since she probably only started walking a few months ago.
How adorable is this little one? Please SHARE this video on Facebook if she made you smile!
