Nice Samba vid, super fun.
Nice Samba vid, super fun. It's interesting how the three or four different cultures we're talking about have different ways of shaking "it." In Tahiti it's generally about moving "it" while keeping the movement of the legs to a minimum, also it's full of technical things that are lost on the unitiated, like shaking your hiney while down on your ankles (not easy I'm told). I like them all. It's great that these ancient ways of dancing seem to be making a comeback.
My wife was part of a pretty major production in Tahiti a few months back. Here's a blog post (with fuzzy video) of part of her experience for you dance nuts out there. http://coconutradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Tahitian%20dance
