A Fijian meke — pronounced meh-kay — is the term for a traditional, communal form of spiritual folk song or dance. Fijian men, women and children use mekes to convey stories or daily life or long, epic tales of victory by the gods. In the Fijian meke dance every body motion, every hand motion, the position of every performer…even position of every member of the audience is important. There are special positions in a meke for members of the village hierarchy; placing them anywhere otherwise would be an insult.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
