Hello, I am trying to figure out if there are different names for different hula dances. My Internet search with this question has been...unfruitful.

I am not referring to Kahiko and Auana, my focus for learning at this time is Auana. So in the category of Auana, well, there are different dances right? There's not one dance to rule them all...

I assume* there is a dance for welcoming, and for saying goodbye, and for bountiful or safe land, or any number of other things. Is this how it is? I'm at the beginning of my learning for this, so I acknowledge that I may be wrong in this assumption.

I'm specifically wanting to start with a dance to welcome a loved one home, if such a dance specifically exists.

Any guidance or understanding would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I saw a dancer on Youtube with an enchanting style of movement but I'm not sure of the name. It's really fast-paced. I think it's usually done for special guests. It seemed moreso for adults.
