Polynesian Dance
Tahitian Dance Basics
Ori Tahiti (Tamure/Tahitian dance) is a Polynesian dance originated from Tahiti.
It consists of different style such as Aparima and Ote’a. Aparima is a dance that is very similar to Hula; it usually requires a lot of arm movements and is danced along and relatively to the song.
Ote’a on the other hand, is usually described as a rapid hip-shaking motion to percussion accompaniment. It was originally a dance that was only designated for men as the warriors’ dance, but after generations, women joined in and also performed in Ote’a. Gestures in this dance usually describe their daily activities.
Hawaiian Dance Basics
The Hula is a form of dancing native to Hawaii. It provides entertainment but has its roots in ancient ritual. The purpose of Hula dancing is to convey meaning through movement, intertwining the performers with the spirit of the universe by unifying their existence with nature. Over the 4 week course, the group will practise the basic techniques (ami, ka’o, kaho lo etc) and one mele (song).
