“Aʻa i ka hula, waiho i ka hilahila ma ka hale.” Literally, “Dare to dance, leave your shame at home,” this ʻōlelo noʻeau represents fearlessness. In other words, in all aspects of life, “No shame, chance em!” as growth most often occurs when you go outside of your comfort zone. The Merrie Monarch Festival is more than just a hula competition, it's a powerful celebration of Hawaiian culture, language, and identity.
