DVD #1: "Everything You Should Know About Tahitian Hula" includes step-by-step instructions for Tahitian steps and arm movements, brief history, instruments and music used, Tahitian language, male and female steps, many step variations, over 50 Otea and Aparima arm movements, and costuming for male and female dancers. (60 minutes)
DVD #2: "Charmaine's Tahitian Pearls" includes a full length view of Charmaine in various Tahitian costumes performing complete dance routines to the following songs: Tiare Tahiti, Tahiti Nui, Bora Bora, Pakakina, Te Manu Pukarua, Pakakina #2, Otea Tititemoua, Paea, Bora Bora #2, Tahaito, Fulfillment, Paahai Taere, Maha Maha, Bora Bora #3, Salutes, and Paea #2. (30 minutes)
These dvds were copied from the original semi-professional/homemade tapes that were filmed some years ago, so the sound and visual quality are not as good as expected on today's dvds. Charmaine is not a Kumu Hula, but the material she presents is authentic and performed to the best of her ability. The numerous dance routines can be adapted to your own style and song version.
