| Tahitian Dancers at The Polynesian Cultural Center, Oahu |
No, I’m not talking about a
parent/child movement class. I’m talking Tahitian Dance.
Last month I attended a shower for my
friend, Erika, who was getting married in Hawaii. So, of course the entire
shower had an amazingly fun Hawaiian theme. My kind of celebration!
One of the best moments during the
afternoon was when a teen relative of the hostess performed a Tahitian dance
for us—in full dress and accessories! It was great.
But then she asked us to stand up and
learn how to do Tahitian. Now, not everyone was thrilled with the prospect of
trying to shake their hips like she did, but some of us gave it a try. I was
among the adventurous.
I’ve done a lot of hula, but never
Tahitian, and the way you move is completely different. In hula you use your
legs and steps to move your hips. In Tahitian it’s the knees. What fun!!
And the best part? After the lesson,
they gave an award to The Best Dancer. Guess who won? (Big Grin!)

Next week I’m going to interview
Erika about her Hawaiian
Wedding experience. You don’t want to miss it!
Happy Tahitian Dancing!
