From www.ica.pf Best couple "Gilles hollande" award and best solo "Donover" award during Heiva I Tahiti 1997 from "O Tahiti E" group.
I must explain what this kind of solo is "Josie & Don Over": The name "Josie & Don Over" is the name of a famous american (and his wife) who visited Tahiti there is a several years ago... a rich man who was so fanatic pre european Polynesian dance; at his death, he left writings to donate each year to the best female dancer of old style ORI an award (money). Since this time a dance was dedicated to him and that each year the Polynesians reminds it by organizing a contest...
This dance consists in dancing like the ancestors of the Polynesians (without Bras)...Very pleasant to look at, but also a single dance who pleased all!
