This is a good class to attend to get the very minimum for basics in hula. It's a good tourist attraction. A nice slow pace for beginners to learn their steps. Pua was very informational and explained each motions significance and the history of the song. There was, however, very limited space to dance and costant distractions of people walking around the mall.
