Learn the dances of the Polynesian islands, including Hawaiian
hula and Tahitian o’tea.
Hula is an ancient Hawaiian art form, which rhythmically tells
a story through dance and hand movements.
The Tahitian o’tea is a very fast drum dance, done using rapid
hip movements. In modern-day Tahiti, it is performed at festivals
and events, but it originated as a warrior dance.
Students will learn basic movements used in Hawaiian and
Tahitian dancing, proper dance technique, and build stamina and
endurance. Be prepared to dance with flowing arms and swaying
hips... And a little bit of sweat too!
