Almost every comment mentions how beautiful she is, but she’s more than her beauty. Look carefully at the credits at the beginning of the video. She is also the director and choreographer in all her video performances.

You should inject testosterone to the equivalent of what the male body produces and then come back to us after 4 weeks. We can't help but notice it

[@ahmadrijal9907]

I'm proud of this two dancers, they are fit, their attire and dance are their heritage, modern and contemporary, makes me want to see more and more of Polynesian dance.

[@treycampbell3533]

Polynesian's are beautiful people, Samoan's, Hawaiians, Figian,Tongan and Maori all have such an amazing spirit and the women are truly beautiful, good to see the new generation stayin connected with the old and keeping their beautiful culture alive. Peace and Luv family.

[@Ghostmanriding]

And mixed people like these two are also beautiful.

[@treycampbell3533]

@Mwaniki Mwaniki sorry for this dude over here putting other cultures lower than ours. Both Polynesia and Africa are both culturally diverse with all beautiful cultures across. Hes an idiot for saying "polynesian culture" when theres over a 40 different cultures within Polynesia( more if you count each tribe and language).

For those asking, 'lukitau' means challenge in Tokelauan.

Lu'itau in samoan i knew it i have a feeling its the same thing just different spelling
