    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Woah, I just read a post i made several months ago (looking for a qualified instructor).
&lt;br/&gt;I have finally found (and signed up this week) a VERY GOOD instructor.  She's actually the person who has taught several current studio owners/instructors in the area the art of this dance.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But I'm still flabbergasted at how long the process has taken
&lt;br/&gt;(I mean, I found an absolutlely fab African Dance Instructor - in just over a week)
&lt;br/&gt;And all our bellydance instructors were just as easy...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Well, on to the biz of dance
&lt;br/&gt;Hawaiian/Polynesian classes to begin at Beledi Bay starting Sept 8th
&lt;br/&gt;YAAAAY!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My name is Chip, and I am a drummer for the Tahitian dance troupe "Mou'a Vahine", based in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are looking to expand our repertoire of live music into more than just ote'a, and to do this we need sheet music or other musical notation for traditional Tahitian music
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The first song we are performing is 'Toere oe no Tahiti'...we are currently performing a capella with drums, but adding melody instruments will make it much better (a capella singing is not my strong point, but I just can't say no to our leader!).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, can anyone help me out with a source for sheet music for Tahitian songs?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I definitely appreciate it!

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hi I am a newbie- a bellydancer who would like to expand my knowledge of dance.
&lt;br/&gt;I met a hula dancer at a belly dance show who was emphatic that polynesian dance was not the same as what she did; that Hula told a story and Polynesian dance was made up of hip movement that she found boring. She said the grass skirts were what people thought of when they heard "hula" but that that was polynesian.... so my question is-  Can anyone explain to me what polynesian dance is, and is it possible to begin to learn it from a dvd? If so, what dvd? Or does anyone know of a teacher in the Baltimore MD area?
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you in advance!&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hello all!
&lt;br/&gt;new member this tribe...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am a dance studio owner - (newly opened in mar 08)
&lt;br/&gt;and I'm looking for an experienced/qualified instructor (in the Tampa Bay area) to instruct Polynesian dance.
&lt;br/&gt;The classes we currently offer are primarily bellydance - but we would like to offer more variety of world dances
&lt;br/&gt;And Polynesian is among those modalities we are looking to add.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We like students know where the dance they perform comes from, as well as the history and culture.  I beleive this to be very important.
&lt;br/&gt;I had been speaking w/ a Polynesian instructor - but as she has always instructed elsewhere on just a handshake, does not wish to sign my instructors contract.  I don't do business on JUST a handshake, so I am back to looking for an experienced/qualified instructor.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can anyone offer advice assistance on where I might find a good quality instructor.
&lt;br/&gt;I am looking for someone who has teaching experience, is capable of breaking moves down into their individual components and passing them on to thrier students (there are many lovely dancers out there - but knowing how to dance, and knowing how to teach dance are two completely seperate things).  I dislike the kind of teacher who shows a move a few times then moves on before all their students may have grasped it, or the instructor who teaches soley by the "flow me" method.
&lt;br/&gt;But I also want students to learn the history/culture of the dance they perform.  Knowing why moves are done a certain way, and where a specific style comes from goes miles in helping that dancer become a beautiful artist.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any advice on how/where to find such an instructor?
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you!
&lt;br/&gt;~ Chandra ~&lt;/div&gt;

I'm afraid I'm another one of those.  I live in the Chicago area. I've noticed at least 5 different schools and programs offering Hula, Hawaiian and Tahitian dance.  I want to see if there is anyone in this group can recommend a teacher or program very active in the hula dance scene, very knowlegeable and respectful of Polynesian culture offering lessons in my area. I am most interested in the dances of Tahiti.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Has anyone heard of using fan dancing in any polynesian cultural dance?  I recently went to a student showcase luau where one dance was choreographed using a combination of fan dancing and tahitian dancing.  The fans were not like Asian style, or European style fans or ones you  might see a belly dancer use, but non-flashy, natural colored, spade shaped fan.  Im not really sure how else to describe it.  But has anyone heard of using fans in any island culture dance?  It might seem natural because of the weather, but i have never seen a dance like that.  Im not saying it's a bad thing, but it would be nice if i could find some cultural context to it.  I thought the dance was really cool, and i would like to use something like it, but only if there is cultural context of it in polynesian dance.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This link shows a fan similar to what the dancers used.

&lt;br/&gt;The 2007 "Arizona Aloha Festival" was presented in Phoenix Arizona on
&lt;br/&gt;March 17th &amp;amp; 18th 2007. The 2007 "Arizona Aloha Festival" was
&lt;br/&gt;presented by the "Arizona Aloha Festivals, Inc."

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Arizona Aloha Festival
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;From Opening Ceremonies on Saturday to Closing Ceremonies on Sunday,
&lt;br/&gt;the Festival is filled with the music, dance, song, and rhythms of
&lt;br/&gt;Hawaii and Polynesia. The best of Arizona's and other state's
&lt;br/&gt;transplanted Islanders are showcased on 3 stages: the Marketplace
&lt;br/&gt;Stage, the Lath House stage and the Island Discovery Stage
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hawaii is represented by both ancient (kahiko) and modern (`auana)
&lt;br/&gt;hula as well as steel guitars, and tropical rhythms. A crowd favorite
&lt;br/&gt;is when the keiki or children's hula halaus (schools) perform.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Samoa brings the exciting fire dance and energetic slap dance as well
&lt;br/&gt;as the seated group dances (mauluulu).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Tonga's songs are marvels of a unique harmony. The women's dances are
&lt;br/&gt;known for their soft, graceful movements while the exuberant men's
&lt;br/&gt;dances highlight strength and precision.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The drums of the enticing islands of French Polynesia echoes across
&lt;br/&gt;the grounds for the fast moving dance known as the otea. No audience
&lt;br/&gt;can resist Tahiti!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The fierce Maori's dances often tell of past battles. The wero
&lt;br/&gt;(challenge) and the haka are men's dances done for intimidation. The
&lt;br/&gt;poi balls are used by the women for telling a story.

&lt;br/&gt;My 7-year-old daughter and I are taking a "hawaiian dance" class that is run through our city's parks and recs dept.  For the class we need a bunch of accessories.  Well, actually, the instructor brings her big bag of implements for us to use, but my girl and I would like to practice at home.  Do you think you can point us in the right direction?  I prefer inexpensive or DIY as we are just starting out.

&lt;br/&gt;starring Kumu Hula Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The inspiration for Hana Lima came from Kumu Mark pondering an age old adage.. 
&lt;br/&gt;"If you find yourself with a whole lot of nothing to do, and are looking for something to do when you're doing a whole lot of nothing..then let's Hana Lima." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Hana Lima" is a series of instructional albeit entertaining videos hosted and produced by Kumu Hula Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu and MKH Productions showcasing the art of Hawaiian craft-making. In each Hana Lima video segment, Kumu Mark will take you through the construction of various Hawaiian hula implements such as Pahu (Hawaiian drum), Uli uli (rattle), Puniu (knee drum) and many more. Kumu Mark and the Academy of Hawaiian Arts invite you to share in this gift of Hawaiian craft-making?if not for the education, certainly for the entertainment. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Aloha, and let's Hana Lima!

&lt;br/&gt;Caroline Young: In classical Oriental painting, artists approach
&lt;br/&gt;their work the way pianists in the West might approach the existing
&lt;br/&gt;compositions of the great masters. Each new painting was a
&lt;br/&gt;performance that the artist rehearsed for by practicing the
&lt;br/&gt;performance of earlier painters. Contemporary artist Caroline Young
&lt;br/&gt;took that wisdom to heart. Her delicate watercolors on silk pay
&lt;br/&gt;homage to classical Chinese technique called the "delicate style,"
&lt;br/&gt;and the lessons she learned from her mentor, Lam Oi Char. Each is a
&lt;br/&gt;virtuoso celebration.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Aloha Kakou,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please distribute this widely to your independence minded ohana and friends in the SF Bay Area and urge their participation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our chance to give thousands of Berkeley residents exposure to Hawaiian independence is on!!! The Hawaiian Independence contingent will meet up around 10 AM, before the How Berkeley Can You Be? parade, at the garden opposite 2114 California Street in Berkeley on September 17th.  (And, as you'll see by the lineup list below, we're right next to the Tibetan contingent, so "Free Tibet" and "Free Hawai'i" will have an obvious conceptual relationship.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone who wants to show support for a free and independent Hawai'i is welcome to march with us. Just show up!!! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Representatives and supporters of all independence groups are welcome. My intention is to create a public space for a wide range of expression of Hawaiian independence issues.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We welcome handouts from people and organizations representing various aspects of the independence movement. This is a rich and complex issue, and diversity of opinion is a fact. (However please note, pro-Akaka bill handouts are not considered "pro-independence" literature.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone with questions, please email me. An excerpt of an email from the parade organizer is below. Mahalo!
&lt;br/&gt;Waihili (Amy Marsh)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&amp;amp;lt;&amp;amp;lt;As a reminder, the How Berkeley Can You Be? parade is on September 17th this year and the head of the parade departs from University and California at 11am.  Please show up as early as you need to in order to be ready to go by 11am.

&lt;br/&gt;Caroline Young: In classical Oriental painting, artists approach
&lt;br/&gt;their work the way pianists in the West might approach the existing
&lt;br/&gt;compositions of the great masters. Each new painting was a
&lt;br/&gt;performance that the artist rehearsed for by practicing the
&lt;br/&gt;performance of earlier painters. Contemporary artist Caroline Young
&lt;br/&gt;took that wisdom to heart. Her delicate watercolors on silk pay
&lt;br/&gt;homage to classical Chinese technique called the "delicate style,"
&lt;br/&gt;and the lessons she learned from her mentor, Lam Oi Char. Each is a
&lt;br/&gt;virtuoso celebration.
