So, I just got done with our christmas hula show... so much fun! Anyway, while we were rushing around getting ourselves and everyone else ready physics popped into my life once again. For the kahiko portion, I had an opening number that required a shell lei. Now for hula shell lei are usually twisted before they are put on. In order to do this one must use our friend, physics. So you have about twelve strands of shells and you get them all in order and then hold out you hand and swing/ twist them. In the physics sense, the force of you hand becomes the centripetal force, which forces the shells in a circular motion resulting in a beautifully twisted shell lei. And in the end, with the help of my hula sister and brothers, and physics the Halau was able to put on a beautiful christmas concert. Mahalo to all!
