Hula dance came into existence from the Hawaiian island. It was introduced by the Polynesians who were initially settling there. The dramatizers during their presentation normally portray some words like oil and Mele but through a visual dance form. Initially, before the westerners came together with the Hawaii people, the dance was referred to as Kahiki. It was usually done with a lot of chants and the use of various traditional instruments (Martin,2013).

The whole process of globalization has led to changes in people's way of life in different countries. Hawaii as a country has diverted from their initial culture of Huli dance to cope up with the current innovations of the technological advancements. Many countries have dropped their cultures and are now adopting new trends in the world. Many indigenous cultures have been exploited in the tourism industry.
