Polynesians are beautiful people, its too bad that modern diets have made so many of them obese. Samoa has the worst rates for Obesity and Diabetes in the world, even worse than the Saudis.

The eyes are big part is the dance as well. Where you take your eyes at the time of the dance must be ensync with others

[@salvadoroars]

How can these dances be so sexy and yet so very respectful. Amazing!

[@aloha_oe311]

salvadoroars Polynesian dance is not about being sexy. Each moves has meanings and tells a story. It is beautiful though.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

@@aloha_oe311 Lol sure, but it is sexual. Before only men where allowed to dance unless the Arioi class who where professional artists and entertainers, and they danced for the chief for him to select one to mate with on stage. Tho this was private only for the chief. Today they dance for the people and to celebrate life.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

@Luboman411 it’s not “traditional” in the sense that the dance was banned, and revived again X generations later in the 60’s. How they dance now was once seen as modern. Ori Tahiti has evolved a lot and still does as we speak. An d not just in Tahiti. Every place before Christianity was a much more open, liberal and free place than today even. Christianity basically ruined it.

[@MSSLatvia]

what is that fast in & out leg movement called? Anyone know?

[@SOSKinu]

It’s called Pa’oti

[@soundsound11]

Shake hip like that not easy

[@eneasihopoi9786]

so Heiva in tahiti is like Polyfest in new zealand???

[@haviarhafoka8745]

It is actually more like Merrie Monarch in Hawaii, Te maeva nui in the Cook islands or in NZ Te matatini kapa

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Bigger! It's the motherland of Ori Tahiti and is the largest competition in the world. Usually only Tahitians can enter, unless you are invited to dance with a group. Every dancers dream if not compete at least watch and experience the Heiva.
