The punake that taught her is Vatuvei.... Chiefly title bestowed by either the King or Noble... His main objective is to teach song and dance. A great honor to have him.... And vey costly.... In the video, he is the one wearing all black hitting the drum...... Malie Christiana....

Kava Killer Do you have his contact information?

[@risingphoenix9122]

Still my favorite tauolunga. Great job to the dancer! She executed her dance gracefully. Such a beautiful choreography by a talented choreographer. Well done to teacher and student. If the owner of this video can please delete inappropriate comments below. Not only is it inappropriate & disrespectful to both parties, there was no need to mention names. Let's keep it respectful. This is such beautiful performance representing our people. There is no need for negativity. God bless you all & Ofa lahi 'atu my fellow Tongans!

[@umm994]

By the far the BEST Tau'olunga I've seen. This is how you're really supposed to do it! Good job girl

One of the best tauolungas I have ever seen..Graceful and smooth, and told the story of the song well throiugh your actions and movements....Still come back to watch this dance and even show my non Tongan friends what a beautiful and graceful Tongan dance should look like. Well done!!!

[@kasanitapulu5395]

I cannot stop watching this graceful dancing since 2008.. I love love love this dancer

[@taahinetonga6027]

Tongan tau'olungas are the most graceful dances and this is the real traditional way so upsetting seeing others doing it wrong! Malie tonga seeeeuke

[@mamisivono4393]

Thank you for sharing this bful Tau'olunga by the graceful Felicia Omani. I've watched many tau'olunga, this is one of the few that speaks to my heart. The group, music, dancer and also her grandpa dancing at the back - too good. Malie Felicia!!! you rock girl---

[@polykween91]

the BEST i seen ever! from the beginning to the end pure perfection!

[@kewlestever]

Amazing Dancer!!! What intruges me is the fact that she remained so calm and graceful right from the beginning of the whole 7 minutes of her dance....!! Keep it Up!!

[@nunzh5730]

well deserved winner! so graceful and true to the culture! she's also very beautiful...lost count of how many times I've watched this video! malie ta'ahine pea malo e tau'olunga faka'ofo'ofa!

[@kaytee5080]

[@676Kahofuna]

Je m'en lasse pas ! MAGNIFIQUE ! Tout est parfait, à tous les niveaux !

[@alibrandialter6866]

not surprised Sione Vatuvei taught my tau'olunga and am still very proud of learning from one of the best Punake.

[@lespetitsrugby3638]

This is beyond beautiful and feel that this dance was replicated by Laura Lauti..in terms of actions, beat, song etc...winner of Miss Heilala 2016. Credit to Vatuvei and what an amazing legacy. God Bless & to the dancer, TY for a great spectacle 🔥

[@fangatuouaproductions3577]

Or they both have the same choreographer … plus the tame’a group also contributed to the outstanding performances from both girls🌺

[@lespetitsrugby3638]

@@fangatuouaproductions3577 Am sure it wasnt the same ..this dance replicated by Miss Heilala Brittney Fuimaono as well ...all credit to Vatuvei and this beautiful dancer ❤

[@fundafighs]

It's great to see a REAL tau'olunga and not the bouncy dances we see nowadays..lol. It seems like more and more girls dance to songs with a modern twist and the real art of the dance is lost.
