Dancers will learn the foundations of ‘Ori Tahiti, including traditional movements, rhythms, and combinations while building confidence, coordination, and musicality. Students will also learn about the culture and traditions connected to the dance.
Open to kids and teens of all experience levels—no dance experience needed.
Ori Tahiti is a vibrant expression of Tahiti itself, encapsulating its colors, flowers, traditions, wildlife, and spiritual beliefs. The origins of Tahitian dance remain undocumented in formal history, and for many years, it was even prohibited during the colonial period under European and British rule. Today, however, Ori Tahiti is performed passionately by dancers worldwide. This captivating art form is defined by its deep connection to culture, beauty, sensuality, and nature—qualities that have endured through centuries of evolution. Danced with passion and strength, Ori Tahiti creates a profound disconnection from the outside world, allowing dancers to forge a powerful bond with their inner selves. Emotions are conveyed through the movements of the hips, hands, and eyes, while the rhythm of the music and percussion resonates deep within the heart.
