I swear this is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life. The music, the dancing, and the costumes are amazing. I wish the dancers and musicians would get the appreciation they deserve. I hope these treasures will be saved as they are part of what makes humans great.
Me! I could only attend 1 class per week, crack of dawn on Sundays, the rest of the week, it was ballet, tap & jazz 3 times a week and daily, I hit the gym, except Sundays but that felt weird. Nautilus is addictive! :)
You can still dance even if you're at a mature age. Maybe not as much shaking like these amazing hula dancers, but do believe that you can. I was a dancer since I was young and when I was younger, I always thought I would need to stop dancing before 30s or so but I was inspired by a ballerina performing her last dance at the age of 100. Ever since then, I started learning new dances, including ballet at 40 and recently I learnt more steps for this hula dance which I've left off back in the 80s. Perhaps it's easier for me because I have a dance background, so I could still shake like them here. I hope you'll find the courage to dance so you don't have to envy them.
You don't have to be rich to dance, my dear. I wasn't exactly poor but my parents sent me to music school instead of dance classes but I've always loved dance more so I still danced to the point I could choreograph and teach others without going to dance school. As time went on, I went for dance classes much later on but my best years were when I just learnt the dance moves on my own from observing or it just came naturally without anyone teaching me. I always think it was God's gift to me and I've given back by teaching others for free for those previous 20-30 years. I hope you'll get to learn dancing one day.
WHOA,!,! What a display! Its good to see other cultures din doing their own u unique practices I'm sure if Jesus wer. Were on Eeath he wu would be dancing along with them. Oh yes.

I want a figure like that long hair like that and to be able to shake my bootie the way the girls do. Dang these folk have got music and rythm in their souls
It's nice to see the Vahines wear the LONG TRADITIONAL costumes of Ancient Tahiti. And even nicer to see the men, for a change. Thanks for posting! Was that one towards the end having a... wardrobe malfunction?? O_o
