Hula Hula is really the ability for the hips to rotate without moving the head or the shoulders and it is caused by the bending (flexing / straightening) of the knees. It isn't a lateral move of the hips.

Stand straight, facing a wall with shoulders, hips, knees and foot line parallel to the wall. Slightly flex the knees and bend forward as in a golf posture. Make sure your hips and shoulders are parallel to the wall.

Bend the left knee so that it goes about 4-5" out while simultaneously straightening your right knee so that it goes about the same distance in, as per standard knee action. Just a bending and straigtening of the knees.

Neither your head nor your shoulders should have moved; but your hips are now turned anywhere from 25 to 45 degrees, depending on your flexibility.

That's Hula-Hula!

Per 7-14: The Hip Turn as a Stroke Component is strictly the product of the Knee Bend and the Waist Bend.
