How To Siva Samoa with MaryJane Mckibbin-Schwenke

[@pualive5449]

She was miss Samoa and miss South Pacific in the 90s and this woman still look young and the same.. Such a beautiful smart lady.

[@ck0211]

A true tamaitai Samoa. Us here in Samoa should always practice our siva Samoa, we are more into the western culture, too much tik tok but can't even do the siva Samoa 🤦‍♀️ thank you Mary Jane

[@pooka329]

I'm adopted in a Samoan family and I absolutely love to Siva Samoa. It's how I express myself emotionally and as an adopted girl in a Samoan culture.

[@lealofi55]

🌺She’s simply elegant and eloquent in speaking both languages with that natural movement of a true teine Samoa, 🤣and like mother like daughters, awesome.👏🇼🇸✋

[@Virky404]

what nationality are you?

[@seriously2475]

@@Virky404 I second that question. Most Samoans adopt other Samoans or poly kids. Some people just join in because they love the people and culture.

[@ilovetroypolamalu45]

Samoan culture is so beautiful!

[@robroy408]

I know

[@shamanbeartwo3819]

Thank you:)) My Samoan neighbors just knocked on the door to wish me Merry Christmas and give me tons of food. So, I went down to the whole family and said, "I have learned 2 more Samoan words". Grandma asked what they were. So, I said mo'emo'e and ifo while doing all the steps and they laughed so hard. Turns out they were literally just teaching their little girls the dance for a wedding next week. And grandma kept telling one little girl, "See how he's doing it. Look to one side, then the other". And when I looked in the mirror, I scored major points!! Thank you!!!!! Samoans are the best!

[@brittanyyoung2090]

Im marrying into a Samoan family this year and this will be perfect to surprise my partner with at the wedding! Thank you! 💕

[@khokolatestarr2129]

[@ladyfightsoctopus8166]

[@tafatolupopese9615]

Finally someone who really knows the siva samoa

[@Deadpool-jv4pq]

What a privilege it is to have her teaching our girls/women how to siva samoa

[@seawolfe6460]

Thank you for taking the time explain the dance for we foreigners to understand and appreciate the dance even more.

[@manamealane]

For those asking what song she dances to at the very end, it is from the song "Pei oa uma - Marina Davis"

[@honeyb5363]

The Run 1:19 | The Bow 1:57 | Hands 2:16 | Tell your Story 2:36 | The Se'e 4:19 | The Fa'ataupati 4:41 | Together 5:34 |

[@sheen9769]

one of the best trips i have made in life was the trip to samoa when i was 23 :) great times! still have vivid memories of the times in samoa

[@JayLema02]

The most accurate thing anyone in the Islander culture is "or if your mom throws you in the Siva last minute for a fundraiser"😂that hits hard from home

[@antm64]

Her explanations of the various movements tell such an interesting story. From now on, every time I see this lovely dance, the movements will have real meaning. Thanks for posting this most interesting video...much appreciated!!

Putting it all together at the end made me cry soo hard. When i was younger, my family had a siva “business” where ppl would hire us to dance at their wedding, etc. and i was never very good at it. Then all my family but us moved to Utah and I never danced again :( my mom tried teaching us when we were teenagers but i move like a stick now
