In recent years more and more people are realizing that the original dance of grass skirts swishing to the rapid rhythm of drums is the Tahitian dance instead of the hula!
This is a FUN instructional video for the male and female dancer. Now anyone can learn how to dance Tahitian, the "Ori Tahiti", in these easy step-by-step lessons. Mirror-imaging concept is used in this DVD. The student will be learning by following the movements of the instructor as if looking into a mirror. Each step is taught with music which conditions the student to feel rhythm. The lessons progress from simple movements to those of increased difficulty. Dances of Tahiti features two main types of dances that every dancer should know; Aparima: story telling by music and lyrics; and Ote'a: dance expressions by rhythmic drum beating.
Dances of Tahiti For Everyone is the complete and comprehensive Tahitian dance video for the adult which ranges from a novice to a professional. It also includes the entire version of Dances of Tahiti for Children listed directly above.

A great video to learn Tahitian dancing!Feb 15, 2008
This is a really great video if you want to learn some basic Tahitian dancing. I was looking for a video to learn the fa'arapu. While this video does not teach that particular move I did learn a lot watching it. There are 4 complete dances (two otea (the fast dance with the drums) and two aparima (the slower dance with singing))that you can learn, both the male and female parts. Two of the dances are designed for children but anyone can dance them. All the movements are explained really well and each part of the song is broken down into segments. Hand gestures are also broken down into segments as well as practice with the Ii (the hand tassles used in the otea). I cannot recommend this video enough. Also the company I bought this video from (using Amazon Marketplace) was really nice. I got the video a week after I bought it.
