    The document provides instructions for performing basic hula dance steps: 1) It describes a basic side-to-side stepping motion called "kaholo" while rotating the hips counter-clockwise. 2) A second movement called "hela kalakaua" involves extending one foot forward while swaying in the opposite direction, then lifting the heels while keeping the body level. 3) The final movement, "kui tui", involves taking a small step while sweeping the other foot up to knee level, then making abrupt downward and upward sways and moving forward and backward.
