"Ori Tahiti" the beautiful and powerful Dance of Tahiti
Located
in Honolulu & Kaneohe, our classes push the individuals to give
their best effort for the most physical benefit while learning Tahitian
Terminology for basic steps and movements. Classes cover a variety of
styles from the most exciting "'Ote'a" with live pulsating drum rhythms
to the graceful "Mehura". Classes nurture a friendly,
enthusiastic environment coupled with strict expectations, respect for
other students and the Tahitian dance community as a whole. Our goal is
to offer opportunities for students to get a great workout, relieve
stress, learn Tahitian culture, proper dance form, and most of all, share the love of Tahitian
music and dance with others.
