Take your lessons seriously. I once had a hapa haole who never took hula in the islands, had lived here in MD about 10 years, and was getting married, so wanted to do Ke Kali Nei Au for her husband. Well, when she came for lessons, either her feet would move or her hands, but not both together, at the same time. She finally gave-up after several weeks. I myself am not very crafty.
Some people seem to have it all, though.
