sorry for the random comment but you can tell the lovely dancer is predominantly a siva samoa dancer because of her posture. She is slightly bent over which is typical in Samoan dance, whereas with Tahitian or Cook Island dancing we favour a more 'upright' posture with our tailbone 'tucked in', so to speak.
Well.....out of all the polynesian islands...tonga and samoa will rep all islands like dancing. Maori, tahitian or hawaiian for example. You will rarely see a tahitian know a samoan dance or a hawaiian or maori etc. So samoa and tonga take a bow....your willing to represent all the other islands.
