- Veisinia Helu youngest daughter of the late Professor 'Ilaisa Futa 'I Ha'angana Helu performing a Tau'olunga choreographed by Sisiuno Helu to ʻŪpē ʻo Lupepau'u & Fuifui Koula at Tonga High School Reunion, Sydney Australia, 8th July, 2010.

Been watching this 30x now. Still the best choreographed dance ever. Some actions are novel and so marvellous. Only this beautiful dancer can pull it out perfectly because she is light on her feet and easy on the eyes.
In case some of the younger ones didn't know. The TAUALUGA is originally a Samoan dance that was integrated into Tongan culture in 19th Century.
When it was first adapted by the Tongans, the movements were a lot like the Samoan Taualuga because that's where it came from until 1950 when Queen Salote personally added more of the Tongan gestures & took out some of the Samoan gestures which then created a more distinct Tongan style & a distinct Tongan TAU'OLUNGA :)

She took it back to the OLD SKOOL & she did a BEAUTIFUL JOB all around!
Light Bright
Light Bright yeah true
When i first started watching this tauolunga for the milllllioooonth time, enjoying it, I was always wondering why her fkhaka was so fast and harsh compared to the traditional tongan haka. After learning more about the origin of tauolunga and the choreographer's history, aspiration, and direction I LOVED IT MORE! I also love how her facial expressions are natural - these miss heilala tauolunga girls are adopting this hawaiian dramatic facial expression thing which is really off putting and very un-natural.

@@MrBrooklyn06 mooni, but truly it started from Africa 😂
Rarely have I come across a Tongan Dance so graceful. Everything is well coordinated, hand, head, body, feet movements. 'Ikai ke te fiu he sio. The Samoan influence makes it more enjoyable. I wish more Tongan dancers copy her style. Hange koe fakateki 'ikai ke toutou 'ai noa'ia. Kaiha'asi pe. Malie, malie e Tau'olunga ta'ahine! If you have a dance studio, I will bring my grand daughter there! Tonu atu ho'o haka'i e 'Upee e Ta'ahine ko Lupepau'u.
The song is suposed to be like that since it the song and haka were fa'u in Samoa, her father Futa Helu made the dance for her if you look at the end of the clip Hon. Lupepau'u is sitting there watching Futas daughter dance for her a song that was written for her and the joy her birth brought, and her tau lalo is just fine and her hips well that is the art of tau'olunga to move sino molu not like an unbending ruler, she is a graceful dancer but hey you have your opinion and I have mine!!!!

Damn who tf asked
No matter how many tau'olunga vids I watch and how great of a dancer those girls are, something about this one just stands out 😍🙌🏽 She's a beauty, the fkhaka is different, her li haka is on point and the fasi is malie👏🏽❤️ Mesmerizing forsure 🙇🏽♀️
As a Samoan I love and enjoy watching Tongan dance it’s so much like Samoan dance very graceful and the songs make you want to get up malie tahine Tonga Malo Le siva
never get tired of watching this young lady. Such grace, elegance and poise. Beautiful!
She is Futa Helu’s granddaughter.
Of all tau'olunga videos on RUclips, this is the one that I keep coming back to. She truly is brilliant in her dancing and telling the story of this song. Beautiful work!
' if i had to rate her dance it is 100% perfection ! For people who try to judge saying she can't dance I'm sure you guys are PLASTIC Tongans ! She has pure talent, her body language, feet, face and hands were all flowing and graceful and she is from a well known family who knows so much more beyond TONGAN Traditional dance. Her dance was influenced by Samoan Taualunga but still keeping it real to the Tongan fakahaka (moves). So unless you know what Tongan TAUOLUNGA really is. . . . . . keep the negativity to yourself and enjoy the video you flippin annoying people -_- Zzz !
This is the old way Tongan tauolunga untill the queen change it into a royal way or fakaeieiki of the movement
The Tau'alunga is from Samoan since The Tui Tonga take control in Samoa and people tend to learn more of both culture until it flee back to Tonga but it doesn't meant it originated from Samoa it is just our royal taualunga but because of the lineage of tuikanokupolu the mother was from Samoa which link and align Tongan cultures
@@thatonganpepi21 The Tauolunga never had origin from Samoa because of tonga taking over samoa lol. Queen Salote liked the concept of the samoan dance so she made our tongan dance from the influence of the samoan dance and from our other ancient dances. Our Tauolunga isnt as old as the samoan version. And tui tonga had it reign 100s of years ago...
Still the best! After watching this years miss heilala tauolungas, none of them top this
Will always be the best Tau'olunga for me.
This is that one tau'olunga video you keep coming back to... You're reading this after all, many years since it's been danced.
My Grandmother HRH Princess Si'ulikutapu Fineanganofo Taufa'ahau thanks the person who uploaded this video it shows Tongas real Tauolunga Ofa lahi atu
Idk who choreographed this tau’olunga but it’s brilliant. I can’t speak Tongan but she looks like a story teller, and a beautiful one at that. Every move and stroke of her hand was well placed and coordinated in such a beautiful and graceful tone.
Sisiuno was the punake (choreographer) she's the one sitting on the ground behind the dancer who is her little sister. She is the daughter of the late Professor Futa Helu, one of Tongas great scholars in academia and Tonga history and performance arts.
I have watched this tau'olunga several times and I think it's just perfect, Veisinia Helu is very beautiful, she dances so beautifully and it's a lovely song and choreography! Koe tamaiki eni oku totonu ke nau 'alu 'o fe'auhi he Miss Heilala. RIP to her beautiful mama Kaloni and her late father.
You are the BEST Tongan dancer in my opinion. The movements of yr hands and feet accentuated each other complimented by every fkteki. Well taught n very performed. Oh frm the comments you're FutaHelu's daughter, no wonder! Fanx for sharing this unique dancer.
mea eni ui koe perfect meakotoa! folahaka, vee tonu/sino tonu toe fugani mo hono foi kili fkofoofa pea toe tlvou taahine ifo leva e fie sio tauoluga mataga! alu ai Haapai lole oua!
This is the best tau'olunga I've seen. Beautifully done 👌
Tau'olunga malie,only a few can dance like this!
True!!
wow im samoan and i am loving this is the best one I've seen in my life.
The BEST tauolunga on RUclips. Ikai makaka mo hohaa hange ha niu afaangia pea fkeieiki ene fkteki and just gracefully done. Fielau ko hoo dad koe moungai tangata he culture o Tonga ni. Well done to Sisiuno for this amazing choreograph. BRAVO. Ikai fiu iita hono siofi koe taahine Virginia.
Still think this is the best fakahaka and tauolunga to this song! So beautiful malie taahine❤️
SHE'S GOT THE WHOLE PACKAGE..ND BEST TAU'OLUNGA EVER..I'M SERIOUS..BECAUSE CHOREOGRAPHER IS THE BEST.. THE ONE ND ONLY SISI'UNO HELU..MALIE FOA KIAI😙😙
I have watched your dance Veisinia Helu, well, executed. It is and always will be my favourite tau'olunga.

The best Tongan tauolunga I have ever seen.....wonderfully done!! malo!! Xx
Always find myself coming back to this video. 😍
For once I really enjoy, she is a wonderful dancer.
It has been an honor and pleasure to grow up amongst the late Futa Helu as a child. My late father spoke nothing but beautiful words of how much he loved this man like a father and having the opportunity to travel with the Afokoula group to Europe on tour. I was very blessed to have been named by the late professor and will always cherish and share the meaning for my middle name as remembrance of their tour to Europe for the first time. Such grace and beauty😍😍❤️
she's memorizing!!!
Maili Lani mesmerizing
I watch this many times and still come back to watch it 😊 wish I had a lil girl ke ave kia Sisi'uno ke ako'i he tau'olunga 😊 I have to bring my nieces for sure ♡
I had seen Tongan dance .. but love your hand action ALOT
The BEST TAU'OLUNGA EVER!!!!......Everything about it ..
Traditionally the tongan dance was performed where the young women's feet were always moving. This is how the traditional Tongan dance should be performed. Over the years it has changed. Very greatful to those who still dance this way. Malo au Ito
Her dancing 💃 is so professional miss Tongatapu Touliki 'Au o Manavanga Fangalongonoa lagoon 🍺 'Ofaatu from Auckland ❤🙏
This is my favourite tau'olunga of all time. I always come back to watch it!
Love how her actions are old school and haven't drifted too far away from the origin of tauolunga.. beautiful!!
Hiva fkalotu
She is marvellous and she is the BEST!!! I've watched so many none as natural as her and the way she moves from her head to her toes is perfect! Love it
Thank you thefabmsM for enlightening us.There is a minority of Tongans don't know the origins of the Tau'olunga is from our Samoan neighbours.And geniuses like Futa Helu kept some of the movements close because of its relations to one another...As you mentioned the moving around,fetopasi, feet movements etc.
Criticism is good but if you don't know what youre talking about than your opinion is what one Tongan lecturer quotes "Pure Intellectual Masturbation" Rest In Peace Futa Helu
Beautiful song, dance and dancer
