2 Min Hula on the Beach Video

It's been ages since I did a post featuring hula dance, so I thought today I would share one! :) 


2 MINUTE HULA- iHula Hawaii 

This is a brand-new video (uploaded today) by Lynn from iHula Hawaii, where she teaches a 2 minute routine with basic hula moves that anyone can do. 

It was filmed on an empty beach (my favourite kind, lol). Beautiful scenery! :)



I've wanted to learn hula dance for years but there are hardly any classes in my area. I actually mentioned it in a post sharing Hawaiian and Tahitian dance back in 2011! There were some classes several years ago in Sussex but a bit far away for me to easily get there. 

I started belly dancing in 2006 and I am still dancing these days, but not as often. I no longer go to regular classes but do workshops and classes when I can. I do have to be careful of my knees though (have had to for quite a while now), so a hula class may not be suitable.  But at least I can have a go by watching online videos!

P.S. They're going through a difficult time in Hawaii right now, with wildfires on Maui (caused by dry weather conditions and high winds from Hurricane Dora) having  killed at least 55 people and hundreds more said to be missing. Also residents and animals have been displaced from their homes. 

Lynn shared this link to the Maui County site on her YouTube community page: https://www.mauicounty.gov/

It has updates on the fires. If you're able to donate or know others who can, here is a useful link: https://www.mauicounty.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=12656


Thinking of Maui. ❤️

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
