May Day Celebration 2007
IdahoBooties May Day Celebration 2007 Camel's Back Park, Boise, Idaho
The keiki and wahine of Idaho Hulabootie performed their hula debut in the park. The crowd gathered as the keiki hit the stage and with smiles on their faces, hands on their waste, and swaying hips they encouraged the crowd to Kaholo Hula with them and invited them to a Huki Lau. They also performed their favorite Ulupalakua which always brings a smile to their face!
The wahine joined me for Pua Olena which was a crowd pleaser and showed off the ladies graceful Hula hands that we have worked so hard on. I performed Naka Pueo which turned out to be a crowd energizer and of course made me sweat!
The keiki joined the wahine to perform Kawika, to close the show. They practiced very hard to kahea and did such a great job I got "chicken skin!"
The crowd enjoyed the show and gave me a lot of positive feedback as well as inviting us back to do the show next year! The keiki and wahine had a great time sharing their hula with everyone and the weather couldn't have been better!

My first live Oli
Ulupalakua, Little Janie did such a great job, her eyes were so big the whole performance but she stayed on stage the whole time!
Kawika
ケイキ（ハワイ語で“baby”）とHulabootie Idahoのワヒネ（“女性”）が公園でデビューを果たしました！たくさんの人達がケイキが笑顔で手は腰にカホロ始めると観客が増え彼らの体も自然と動き出します。ケイキが大好きなウルパラクアを踊りだすと子ども達にも笑顔が浮かびます。
ワヒネが加わりPuaOlenaが始まる。ワヒネが繊細なフラPuaOlenaを披露しました。とても人気のある作品です。手の動きに特徴があり、私達は一生懸命この手の動きを練習してきました。NakaPueoを始めると観客のエネルギーがピークに達し私にもそのエネルギーが伝わってきました。
パフォーマンスの締めくくりはKawika。ケイキとワヒネが同時に踊りました。彼らはカヘアをたくさん練習をし、その成果は舞台で発揮されました！とてもいい一作になり鳥肌がたったくらいです！
観客には私達のパフォーマンスをたいへん満足していただき、とてもポジティブな感想をいただきました。そのおかげで来年も招待されました！ケイキとワヒネはみんなと彼らのフラを共有しとてもよい一日でした！天気も最高でしたしね！
