This article is about the Hawaiian dance. For other uses, please see hula (disambiguation).

Hula (IPA: ) is a dance form accompanied by chant or song. It was developed in the Hawaiian Islands by the Polynesians who originally settled there. The chant or song is called a mele. The hula dramatizes or comments on the mele.

There are two styles of hula. Old-style hula, as performed before Western encounters with Hawaiʻi, is called kahiko. It is accompanied by chant and traditional instruments. Hula as it evolved under Western influence, in the 19th and 20th centuries, is called ʻauana. It is accompanied by song and Western musical instruments such as the guitar, the ukulele, and the double bass.
