MCC Tahitian Dance 2011

[@RawrrGirrX3]

this was just the dress rehearsal haha. and we don't keep score. the people in the background are just handle the technology -- the music, ppts, etc. they're making sure everything's okay for the actual performance.

[@rubybastiaans8835]

Thank you Suzanne Olsson. I was embarrassed for the dancer. She was amazing and the judges were not even paying attention. Shame on them.

[@Pixi3pr]

i dont think it was a competition, just an exhibition

[@taratui3185]

lkjruuuuiiii

[@emelyndaaru1590]

ruby bastiaans yes u r right they r britches

[@biankapeterson2971]

It appeared as it there were judges..who were rude..even if it's an exhibition you should not be talking, yawning n leaning bk in chair talking to smone,getting up n leaving..its a complete sign of rudeness towards performer n utterly disgusting.

[@philsantos4082]

Very Nice to see that her countless hours of practice has brought her to perfect her umi (swaying of the hips) this form is showing her pride as she moves like the flow of the ocean.

[@pomegranate9274]

most beautiful dance I've seen in a while. The dress really accentuated it too. Love & Peace from Canada!

[@alixandrinafortis5044]

Such beauty and grace. The incredible costume, her facial serenity just magnified her dancing. The people at the tables in the frame could not possibly be judges. They project ignorance of such a low order that ut was just a shame they had to be photographed with this exquisite performer.

[@annetenorio983]

the attitude of the people at the table were disgusting.. this is regardless if they are into an emergency or important related matter they that needs attention .. there is this lady here performing to the peak of her capacity!!

[@denanipier7687]

Enna Ebirra I irahfieiyikjhi7

[@marjutsedpc6394]

Agree Thats Very Rude and Unprofessional.

[@gracemarie1228]

first of all it was rehearsal

[@fakamai]

They're not the judges, mostly likely they were in charge making sure everything goes alright (lights, music, whatever?)

[@gabrielleboggs2009]

It’s a rehearsal and they’re not the judges

[@cristalgonzalez3277]

The only thing I could say when she started shaking those hips was DAAAAAAAMN! Beautifully dressed.

[@jjsimon6496]

The judges need to shut they asses up and watch this girl!

[@bryanwalton4681]

she looks like a bird of paradise with the costume and the dance.

[@Kosraean.sinott]

is that an insult to their culture?

[@bryanwalton4681]

No, it was a compliment

[@nilamnarayan5479]

Bryan Walton doesn't sound like a compliment? But ok

[@beanosworld2538]

Nilam Narayan lol it isnt your just sensative it isnt even your culture to be offended by. A bird of paradise is a beautiful bird. They are dazzling with grace . Didnt see that huh

[@rosieteriitanoa3005]

Indeed. She was graceful and can move her hips really well.

[@kailanikulii198]

I do this with my group for competitions. I'm 21. I live in O'ahu Hawaii. And she looks like a Bird Of Paradise.

[@SuzanneOlsson]

The Judges were so busy talking they never even looked at her- what impolite inconsiderate judges! Shame on them...and the dancer is so good too...she deserved better from them.

[@videogamefan9637]

Totally agree

[@elyzabethjimenezsalazar3675]

muy padre muebe muy bien la caderacse nota que llevavaños de practica si este es tu sueño lo estas cumpliendo😊

[@ajsquad1817]

i agree with you

[@fayy9053]

The people in the background weren't judges, and the people making the noise is the crowd . The performer was facing the judges and we can't see them....lol

[@janetaylortaylor674]

...and she's sweeping the floor too!

[@stevemiles2211]

Black women cant hold a candle 🕯️ to these women

[@BoudiccaBlanc]

This young lady is a very good dancer! :)) Thank you for posting the video. :))

[@musicalenchantment]

Brilliant dancing! Fabulous presence too!

[@arfriedman4577]

Love such a unique costume. Excellent dance.

[@SunkissNia]

I love their tradition and culture 😍😍

[@chicharoni2822]

The people in the background may not be judges. She's wonderful.

[@lasvegashula]

I love her presentation. Simply Tahitian.

[@peggyfleegle3824]

I love the music and the picture very much

[@sarasgl4mxo972]

I honestly really love being Hawaiian I’m so happy. 🌸

[@minhdovu]

I am in love with this dance!!!

[@jennyhe31]

Beautiful dance!❤

[@DeeDeeSlay]

As far as her costume...I make Ori Tahiti costumes, head pieces, hip heis etc.. and the long more' skirt by itself without stripping and belt is around $80 here in Hawaii from the supply store and measured, stripped and belted will run around $120 to $150. The hip hei bcuz it's natural color would be around $200, dyed is more expensive. The head piece would be the most expensive at around $350 to $400 bought custom or pre-made.

[@bw3832]

I love her kiki, Where can I get one like this for a solo for my wedding?

[@29misa]

I love her hair... so much !

[@13gladiusToTheKnot]

Wtf are the people in the background doing there? Even if they they have good reason for being the total ignoring of the performance is demeaning to the performer.

[@Ma5jay5dontxdoxthat]

because it was rehearsals

[@13gladiusToTheKnot]

Ohhhhh

[@temalesiTONGANpride]

that is so preety!, did u make the tahitian skirt or did u buy it?

[@claudiapacheco9890]

Sooo beautiful!!

[@rugrat4287]

way better than twerking I must say it was beautiful

[@mecadeezd9990]

2 different cultures cannot compete against each other.

[@chicharoni2822]

Twerking isnt dance.

[@lauranunes9514]

Wow!!! How does she do that???

[@RawrrGirrX3]

@felicia7107 it wasn't a competition. it just mcc, we just have an assembly to show the different cultures. and i don't have it anyway.

[@livynagoya6666]

She's freaking good, dude. She WAS on beat, so you must be tone deaf. And I'd like to see you make a better head piece. And learn to spell before you even comment.

[@Timamalao]

Well done, dearest. :) Might I ask, what's your ethnicity? Not that it matters, just curious.. Oh, and did you order your costume? It's hard to find good skirts and such in the mainland. :D

[@kailanikulii198]

Timamalao No the costumes/clothing are hand made.

[@dynastyc.3088]

awesome you go girl who made your costume i wanna buy less than 50 bucks

[@kailanikulii198]

Dynasty C. They are hand made and I think 50 won't budge. My group has an elder who helps us make our clothing. I live in O'ahu, Hawaii and do Polynesian and Tahitian dancing

[@jasminesain09]

Anyone know where to purchase these performance outfits especially that coconut bra she's wearing or anything similar?

[@larrysheffer1469]

a lot of these costumes are hand made by one of the groups members or even some of the older family members.

[@kailanikulii198]

Jasmine Sain Yes but they are fake. When I go to competitions with my group, we always change our clothing. We have an elder with us who helps us create our clothing which is hand made. So if you want this outfit, you'd probably have to come to Hawaii or Polynesia. I live in O'ahu, Hawaii.

[@iseetheWAYVision]

Jasmine Sain just find a way to make it. I don't live in the islands, but I know how to make the costumes.

[@herbertmanuel9969]

Jasmine Sain a lot of these costumes qee hand made but in only 15 butbi also do tagitian too

[@chicharoni2822]

Check the Hula supply company

[@a.genesisd.g.7931]

her hips really moves awesomely

[@marianmosqueda2014]

as you do to move the waist so fast?

[@rodanari2655]

Want tooo learn it pleaseeeeee!!! :)

[@Allelame]

@temalesiTONGANpride Usually Dancers Would Make Them Just To Have Their Own Style , But You Can Also Buy Them Which Kinda Cost Expensive ($100-$300 i Think) But if You Google For The Materials On Google , You Can Just Buy Them Online Or Probably From A Dance Group , if They're Not Using Them Anymore .

[@kaipolilo4745]

What drum beats were used? I would like to use them for my halau!

[@moanavai7799]

Where did you get your costume from? Love it!

[@lani8426]

I also do Tahitian its really fun doing fast fa'arapus are kind of tricky going up and down but its fun and easy good job

[@kailanikulii198]

Alanah Carrillo So do I. I've learned how to do the fast fa'arapus but I'm not going to stop practicing them.

[@AGC828]

I know it shouldn't hatter that much but I think it DOES. The style of skirt used. Too often now a "napkin skirt" is used. This one..looks more traditional. Makes you focus on the hips only. Not the legs of the dancer. We (males) ARE going to look. :) And yes the dancing was great. :))

[@leviticushaywood]

if you mean napkin skirt, its called a pareo/pareu/ie lavalava. our people have had those for yesrs and it is traditional. if you cant keep your eyes off the dancer, thats your responsibility, not hers.

[@daliroldan3661]

Hermoso baile ❤

[@anz540]

Hello where to buy the costume?

[@RawrrGirrX3]

@temalesiTONGANpride i have no clue, that's not me lol. i think it's probably bought.

[@RitaSixx]

[@akire628]

I would love to learn to drive like that!

[@jasoncorrea9349]

[@willowsaiz2455]

[@ezziboo]

[@Mrs.M.]

LOOKS LIKE A TALENT SHOW.

[@e.michelle2424]

I would have needed about 10 types of super adhesive glue to keep that skirt on my hips!

[@kailanikulii198]

E. Michelle When we hand make these, we always have to measure our hips to make it tight so they don't fall off lol.

[@AgnaldoSantosdeSouza-v7d]

❤Jesus te ama ❤

[@TheAlistop]
