Young Hula Dancer in Red Ruffled Dress and Lei Under a... — Clip Details

In Hawaii, circa 1961, home movie footage shows a young hula dancer in a red ruffled dress, a pink and white flower lei and a flower-trimmed haku hat performing under a thatched pavilion. Behind her a woman in a red-and-white print muumuu holds a guitar, and another performer in red print stands at the right edge. The dancer stretches out an arm, rests a hand on her hip, turns briefly away and then faces the camera again. It is filmed in one steady, slightly low-angle shot against palms, monstera and ti leaves.

Topics & Keywords

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Supplies a vivid, single-subject colour shot of hula performance in Hawaii circa 1961 for documentaries and education programmes on postwar tourism and Hawaiian culture.
Period detail: The puffed-sleeve ruffled dress, long flower lei, haku hat and print muumuu on the guitarist may show the style of costuming used for visitor hula shows around the early 1960s.
Home-movie behavior: Filmed by a visitor from the audience, the shot follows one dancer through her gestures and catches her smiling toward the lens as she turns back.
What appears in frame: A dancer in a red ruffled dress, a pink and white lei, a flower-trimmed haku hat, a guitarist in a red-and-white muumuu, a thatched roof edge, palm trunks and broad monstera leaves.
Film character: Saturated colour 8mm with rich reds and greens, blue-violet sky highlights, soft grain and gentle edge softness from projection, held steady throughout.
Edit role: Works as a colourful cutaway or memory beat within a Hawaii travel sequence, or as an insert after a wider shot of a hula stage.
Historical context: The scene shows hula presented as outdoor entertainment for an audience in a garden pavilion, with live guitar accompaniment and costumed performers.
Research note: Copyright in the film is separate from the likeness of the identifiable dancer, who appears young, and the musicians; the venue is unnamed and may be private property, so check rights before commercial use.
Research search match: Vintage hula dancer footage, 1960s Hawaii home movie, 8mm colour film of Hawaiian dance, hula dancer in red dress with lei.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with this reel's hula troupe with uli-uli, young girl dancing hula and conch shell clips, then with other circa 1961 Hawaii footage, then with hula and Pacific dance material.
