I cried when I was dancing. Not only the dance moves me, but the history, the culture, the respect...I felt all... Thank you so much! I find myself in Ori Tahiti. Aloha.
Me too. I feel like I’m home and it feels like moving prayer 😢❤
The respect 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 The honor and grace... Everything you said resonates
Dreams of Tahiti 🩵
Thank you
Beautiful. Simple graceful elegance
I’m hoping this will help me heal my pelvis floor, hips and back/shoulders.
All while dreaming of dancing on day just for fun in Tahiti.
Beautiful instruction. Felt everything.
Thank you so much, love from 🇨🇦
Kia orana Kanani, April 2024. Thank you for your awesome classes, you are truly a maine toa. Your inclusions of cultural respect e g te reo, Mana/manawa, reason for all movements etc are greatly appreciated by this Polynesian /. Maori Cook Islander/Tahitian/Maori 75y o wahine.
Love how simple, yet informative your explaining is. Perfect balance between technique and history. Not too much nor too little. Teaching isn’t something that everyone can do, but you do it well🥰🥰🥰 It’s also more than just explaining, but also people skills, and have your students envision and understand what you’re teaching😁 So many people regardless of profession are good at what they do, but suck at people skills which makes teaching not very beneficial for the students. My mom is a language teacher so I know this far too well😅 The ancestors of all Polynesians migrated from South East Asia, and mixed with Papuans while in “Melanesia”. Proven by the DNA of the people them selves, their animals, and the plants. Same with linguistic evidence as our languages are related as well. We are all Austronesian; seafaring heritage but forgotten due to colonialism (500 years+), religious brainwash, politics and racism. In the Philippines we have 180 different languages, yet related (Malayo-Polynesian), and not just in the Philippine islands, but in Indonesia, Malaysia, Madagascar (Imerina), Taiwan, we all have the same word for eyes; MATA, and it’s variations. Same as in Polynesia. We too have outrigger canoes/boats, ancient tatau tradition, head hunters, pork/dog/chickens, and same legends/gods. Especially Maui, which is Lumauig/Lumawig in the Philippines. Btw look up Lane Wilcken. Fil-American who is a Mambatok; cultural practitioner, perpetrating traditional Filipino tattooing like our ancestors did, reviving it, bringing it back, and helping decolonization, and healing the trauma of our colonized people. So knowledgeable, and truly a huge source of information, helping Filipinos to connect with their ancestors and their lost identity.
What trauma have you personally experienced? It needs to be discussed until it is no longer happening. Lots of people don’t know what happens in 2023. 😢😢😢
This is life changing for me (Mother of 32 and 22 year old children and grandma age 6 + 2) God bless you
From one teacher to another, may I say you are a great instructor! Great energy, great pedagogy, great lessons about the culture, the meaning of all the movements, great body/word connections. Mahalo indeed for the inspiration and your smiles🌺🙏❤

I’m not a dancer at all, but started watching the different forms of Hula on Merry Monarch which led to watching Tahitian style. Really enjoy watching the various forms and amazed by the movement. Came across this after watching some your performances, very interesting, you’re a great instructor. Keep up your good work, Aloha

Sis you got me crying too when connecting my mana to source with the routine going from the piko up! I felt my mom and us at our halau Hei tiare of Hilo when we were together back in the day and she was always there supporting me. I cried so hard doing that routine cuz we use to dance to that song too, it’s like she was with me. You get plenty mana sis! No ever stop dancing! Bless you aloha! And what is the song list? I wanna find that song from my childhood you played

Hope that helps!!
Woooooow❤
You're awesomeee
Thank sis😊
Oh my goodness, girl! This lesson resonates with me so deeply. I am not Polynesian, but I practiced simple hula dance and belly dancing for 15 years and I’m just getting back into it. But the part that resonates with me is I am a Reiki master, and we work with the life, force, energy, and the chakras, and everything that you are teaching here falls right into alignment with those practices, which basically Reiki is Japanese, but the chakras and the life force energy practices are universal. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am in love with your classes and I hope to be able to take the next session in July. If you would let me know how to do that..
I believe second last himene/song was aunty Apiti Nicholas famous Cook Island / Tahitian singer, brings tears of joy and sadness, RIP
Aue! he au aue
Hi! I had so much fun doing this dance and learning more about the Polynesian culture.
I was just wondering if I am able to dance the Polynesian dances as a Australian?
Some people say I can and others say I can't and that it's disrespectful to the culture because I'm not Polynesian.
When you will start next classes?
One big problem in the US is music. How do we get music that you have taught to us
When does the next round of classes start?
🥰
Did the instructor get the muscle tone from dancing? It is a very good class for those students over age 55yrs old
what s the name of that last song for demo at the end of video? It is so beautiful ! Maholo
Hello, what are the songs you are playing in your video? Especially the slow ones?
Im not Polynesian i am filipino but We have same word language called susu and mana
Susu means boobs and mana means inheritance or something that u can inherit from someone or ancestors or something given to u 😊
Wow so interesting … how much are the classes?
@8:45 you got me, I needed to close my fingers
I know have a lots of Filipino there in Hawaii
Hi :) What is the last music? When you show us a coreography? It is so beautiful. Thank you so much☺️
I'm suffering severe pelvic/hip pain since covid. I hope this helps me.
Amazing! Where are you located? Love to do lessons with you in person.
Hello! What is the slow song you dance to near the end of the video?.. Eureka! Thanks 😘
I’m in love with your classes and I’m wondering if will you please let me know the autor and name of the music 🎶 is so in love with the lyrics. My age is 63 years old keep moving, thank you very much. I forget to tell that I’m from Mexico City .
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I want know what makes faarar hurry
I feel like Lisa Baby’s sister in Dirty Dancing trying to lean to dance😂. I feeling really stiff. And I’m Latina who loves to dance and move my hips and core 😂. This sh*t is tough but I love the workout and the dance is so beautiful. I’m determined 😊
Any recommendations/ videos for males 😅
Hello sehyo very much and I would like it if you did online video courses I live in Hamburg and unfortunately there are no gyms here where you can learn this wonderful dance
