[@hiimkate1095]

It quarantine, I’m shaped like a brick, it’s 1 in the morning. Let’s get it

[@JaculaDudek]

hell yeah, let's do it! i think i'm blinded to the point where i want to do this too!

[@ms.chelleg2068]

Lol you get a Trophy 🏆… hope you got it!!

[@richardxavier7903]

That’s great ever

[@jacklynnmjackson2383]

HA

[@rebeccaherrera6006]

Did you stick with it??

[@positivelybeautiful1]

Ms. Leolani, wow, thank you for your true compassion, caring for us strangers to share your talents with the World. I have always love and will continue to admire Tahitian, Hawaiian and Polynesian dances. It’s amazing how the legs move the hips like that. You’re never to old to learn, and I’m 53.

[@TheSaltySiren]

Amen to that!! It’s 2023, I’m 48, and sheer curiosity got to me, as I watched Polynesian dancers flipping their grass skirts. It’s such a beautiful dance with so much meaning, and passion. I want to learn!!

[@veronicajones7627]

OMG I’m 27 and I hurt so many of my bones cracked that never cracked like that before thank you I will be doing this in my daily routine exercises now

[@epn8459]

Saaaame girl😅I cracked in places I didn’t even know I could crack 💀

[@jojothepolyglot1866]

I don't know how I got here but....She owes me a new keyboard🤣

[@miaz1399]

Im 27 too and trying to learn this damn my hips

[@FadiaBoumanqar]

Me watching from my bed🤡

[@beckywood3]

From the tub 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@User_87937]

Oh just thought he meant he was masturb*ting. Sorry. Watching from my couch

[@bridgettedenise]

Me too

[@jojoone1099]

Same. Lol

[@jfm14]

Yep, from the couch here. 😅

[@amberimmel1887]

I have bad arthritis in my hips and this is helping me get some range and motion while helping me stretch!

[@dotcassilles1488]

Dancing is great exercise for me as well. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue as well as bipolar so i use dance to get out of depression and that negative spiral.

[@marynelson382]

Did this help improve the stiffness and reduce knee pain?

[@kathleenmartin7498]

I was just thinking, this would be great for building core muscle strength....I have bad hips from arthritis , so I don't know how well I'll do, but will give this a try

[@galadriel3134]

Check out Keto diet - greatly reduced my migraine AND my arthritis. And then its easier to dance. Dr Berg on youtube is good

[@dejakeith2291]

I’m about to be a jack of all trades after this quarantine is over... 1st was belly dancing now Tahitian dance lol

[@JaculaDudek]

so how is your "being Jack" going? :P

[@beforethedawn2701]

Watch me doing a tahitian dance in the club when quarantine is over

[@marijuanicole]

same!!

[@cahierdepluie9590]

This is the best tutorial I have found yet, how is it that one can blessed with such hips, rythme and teaching skills 😭💛

[@todddanforth8853]

We just chose the color "Tahitian Sky" for painting our kitchen so I figured my wife and I better get started learning the basic Tahitian dance moves. Thank you for your clear instructions, Dear Sister Leolani!!! Great tutorial!!! 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@shielamaeeliserio3133]

It looks easy but when you try it it's really hard. my heart pound like I do a 30min cardio exercise this is great when you're trying to get back in shape and dance at the same time❤

[@vickiejones4853]

you are by far one of the best instructor... Love how you show every detail

[@cyndersloohoo7822]

The lighting, the styling, the whole format of this vid is really, really good. Shit, its great! It’s perfectly succinct with easy instruction and I appreciate that it’s not over talked. Thanks from a former dancer and empty nester🐝

[@joseserrano141]

I'm from an small island Puerto Rico Since I was a kid I love your dance and music Hope o will go and see everything about Tahiti

[@dherrera6]

Clear focused instruction on one move with repeated practice and reminders of correct form. I enjoyed the audio as a separate feature of the video, it improved the quality of the instructional delivery. Well done!

[@CamiCon224]

As a Hawaiian, I am ashamed of not pursuing Hula further as a kid. Hopefully this redemption will make my parents proud 😭

[@donnaduhamel6004]

Start now😂🎉❤

[@CarltheNPCC]

Um girl this is tahiti belly dancing not halu belly dancing

[@lilscookiecutter6773]

Same here sis 😂

[@NaturallyCreativeme]

Thank you so much for the posture segment in the beginning this was so helpful. Your video is well done and easier to follow than others ❤

[@rebeccarivas420]

I’m going to try my best! I have no hips and a pouch belly from bearing big children. I’ll be 67 in August but never to young or old to learn. I live this tutorial!

[@AndreTheAstronaut]

Awesome guide! I am a guy but I like being able to connect with my hips, a body part we never use!

[@brendal5273]

AWESOME!

[@zzeedstun7151]

Gae😂

[@wednesdayrowan278]

I wonder if there are videos for the male dancers too, we went to a "hangi"(?) performance in New Zealand, the guys were fantastic and actually had a stronger part in the performance...though... you probably don't want to do the fire dancing at home

[@gogoscorner1111]

Ok.. So I just did this and now I'm breathing hard, my thighs are burning and I had to sit down! Lol I need more 😁

[@tulbanemoore8405]

Thanks for the great demonstration...

[@hellfirepictures]

I'm really impressed with the style of teaching. It's SO clear whcih makes it simple for anyone to follow. LOVE IT. Am now going to watch all the videos in the series :D Thank you Leolani.

[@joyabsalon9216]

[@medicinabiomagnetica3675]

Muy bien , los mejores pasos q he visto .No se debe separar los talones del piso y no mover hombros, eso es lo principal ( difícil) tú lo haces .Felicidades 👍

[@youcanwithjoanne]

Amazingly done! Thank you!

[@ndimu_galya]

I am from Uganda 🇺🇬. I love your dance. It's similar to our Kinganda Dance on how you move the waist. 😊

[@suziequzie]

Feeling lower back and hip pain - hoping trying this later tonight will help stretch things out. Looks like a nice low-impact workout.

[@angelbabysqueaky3985]

Thank you for a great lesson. ❤😊😊

[@dotcassilles1488]

This move is also used in bellydance but your arms are in a different position, closer to your body. Im only a beginner at bellydance but loving it already

[@monicamoran7834]

Iorana! Thank you for teaching us. I love polinesian culture😍🌸

[@virginiamonterrosa3689]

SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS TUTORIAL!! LOVE IT!

[@e.e.e]

I have wanted to learn the Tamure since I was a little girl. In my 20s I took 1 class, at a Tahitian lady's home in Los Angeles. My schedule did not permit me to return. This the 1st step. It makes me wonder how islands all learnd the same dance and who started it? Would be fascinating to find out. I also find the African dances so beautiful but I don't know the name for them, I'm sure there are many from different nations. It always saddens me when old (and new) Hollywood TV shows try to pass the o tea Tahiti ("Tamure") as Hawaiian Hula when it is not. They have their own dance, which is beautiful too, but completely different (arms & hands tell a story), their hips barely sway and no drums but the beautiful ukulele plays the undulating sounds. Of course, I am not a fan of "fusion" because this dilutes both dances and traditions should be respected, the same that we respect the ancestors of both islands. (Although Tahitians are said to have been the ones who discovered Hawaii and migrated there, though I am not sure how accurate that is. I love both cultures, I am really in love with both yet I adore Tahiti the best.

[@JaniKira]

Beautiful! I just started trying out different dancing styles from around the world, and this is so fun! Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@asianafrank7217]

I feel like I can’t keep my pelvis neutral 😭 my back naturally arches prett fat back so maybe I am neutral & it just looks different. I feel like I’m squeezing my butt in 😂

[@elliemumma2888]

Same girl! My back is overly arched for some reason even when I *try* to stay neutral. It’s annoying sometimes

[@asianafrank7217]

Ellie Mumma yes 😭 also I didn’t realize I had so many typos in my comment hahahha

[@jangabel6363]
