Princess Hiriata and her Vahine Warriors!

To get us in the mood for the week we’ll be spending in our “Everything is a Drum” classes focusing on Tahitian rhythms, let’s enjoy a dance performance by Princess Hiriata and her Vahine Warriors. This is a Tahitian “‘o’tea,” a rhythm dance that uses hip-shaking moves and narrative hand motions to tell stories that resonate culturally in Polynesia. Learn more about Polynesian dances at Polynesiandance.weebly.com.
