"HAERE MAI" - Honua Lani provides instruction for beginner Maori dance steps and hand gestures, 6 long poi moves (with slow motion), costuming tips, a brief history of New Zealand and the Maori people, and two traditional Maori routines: Pa Mai (action song / dance), Na Waka (double long poi) (30 minutes)
"TAHITI ORI" - Honua Lani provides instruction for beginner Tahitian dance steps and hand gestures, costuming ideas, and three complete Tahitian routines: Te Manu Pukarua - Aparima (story dance), Tanga Tika - Aparaima (story dance), Bora Bora - Otea (drum dance) using ii ii (hand tassels) (25 minutes)
*Due to semi-professional videography, lighting and sound, the Maori and Tahitian programs have been combined onto one dvd for better value. The instructional quality is not affected on the Maori. The Tahitian performance section is overexposed and makes it difficult to see the upper body of the dancer. You may need the companion manual (#H06M) to follow along. (2-in-1 dvd = 55 minutes total) |
