The dance scenes are not the traditional Hawaiian hula. They seem to be made up of Tahitian, New Zealand, and Hawaiian. Typical Hollywood made up stuff played for people who don't know the difference.
shareYou mean it's not super-accurate, documentary-quality hula dancing? I'm shocked! I tell you I'm shocked!
However, I was amused with Dolores' dancing, prancing and swimming au natural! Gotta love those pre-code movies.

I learned something. I did not know there were so many versions of the hula, but I am not surprised. Similiar to belly dancing in various parts of North Africa and the Middle East.
