There have been many hours and days of practice for the Ilima Hula Studio wahine. Now the time is drawing near for the real deal. They are approaching the final days before they leave for the experience of a life time. There dances are really coming together, their timing is much better. Now it's time to get dressed for the Merrie Monarch, the dresses are beautifully hand made and the ti leaf skirts are swaying in the breeze.....it's almost time..........
