[02589634]

the young girl is very good nothing to be offended over it is a traditional tahitian dance the Tamure

[Dilmowais23]

what polynesian club is she in?

[Asiankidz1]

isnt brenda song hmong ?

[marshmello308]

I thought she did pretty well! lost the beat on some parts and could improve a little more on her movements but overall she did well.

[sowhatdowecallit]

she has a very nice presence :]

[johnm3000]

I loved seeing hula dancers like that. I'd love to meet one someday.

[lorenaballerina]

xuse me, I'm a beginner in polynesian dances! is this otea dance???

[meomdaizeev]

im a polynesian dancer and i want to give her credit for her performance. still need improvement on that tahitian/cook island dance, but keep up the good work, youll become better before you know it.

[meomdaizeev]

i'm a polynesian dancer and i still give credit for her trying. keep it up, you will get better before you know it. oh the dance is tahitian/cook island

[Honolulugirl2]

[jebon70]

hey beautifulkia, u should just change ur title to tahitian cause some people don't know how to read ur info. i'm from hawaii and also a hula/tahitian dancer and my hawaiian name is kanoenani blah, blah, blah....geez! some people! she's a kid! she probably can dance better than u whineys!

[crimsonJADEDfang]

well..the poster DID SAY THAT IT'S NOT HULA. Read it at the upper right hand corner of the screen.

[figaroh]

u did a great job. kept the smile on ur face and represented. =]

[Chickofmanywonders]

sooo not hula dancing this is Tahitian dance

[andagii]

:/

It's not Hula, like the other two have pointed out.

[Rosacutie109]

omg. this is tahitioan. i kno this cuz i go to hula. My kumu hula is meleana manual. my halau name is Ke Olu Makani O Mauna Loa

[smthbear808]

Okay, not bad for someone not from the islands.

This is NOT hula though its tahitian.

Since it was for her grandparents she honored them and they accepted this honor it served its purpose.

I encourage this dancer to learn more. Come to the islands and LEARN more!

The tamure=hip motion is okay but can be stronger.

The hand motions need to be firm and deliberate...that would come with knowing what you are dancing.

WORK THAT ASS BABY HMONG GIRL

[pierangeli14]

This isn't hula dancing. This is a Tahitian dance. Anyone who really knows anything about Polynesian dancing should know this.

[BeautifulKia]

I know...i list it under hula for easy search only...

[timzes]

@pierangeli14 correction this is hula, hula simply means dance, the issue arises as to what style of hula or dance, then you can imply it is tahitian, but then there will be the tahitian traditionalists who would say it is not tahitian, but some barby doll impersonation of their art. hawaiians, americans in my view confused the term hula when it simply means dance. its like calling hip hop as ballet yet they are both dance, but the style is different. my pennys worth.

[oOHulaGirlOo]

@timzes but this is not hawaiin, it is tahitian. Hula is the hawaiin word for dance, not the tahitian. Tahitian dancing is all about the hip movements, while hula (my favorite being kahiko) is about the hand movements. They wear different costumes, have different stories, different steps, backgrounds, styles, and meanings. And should not be mixed up as the same culture. They are different

[mwuax3]

shes a fucking ching.

[chikako8395]

that's cool

[tevanu]

Very cute!! She did just fine.. Where can I get that skirt and head dress? Lovely. How can you say embarassing?!! You must not have social skills anyways.

[girlieme7]

wow...she can really shake, by the way...love the outfit...refering to zoonkauj1 below...i don't think is embarrassing...this is america and we need to change alittle bit too...that's what i think.

[BeautifulKia]

i agree with you girlieme7...this is a performance at her grandpa's dinner party..i don't think there's anything wrong with the way she is dressed and i don't think it is embarrassing..her hula dancing is actually supported by her loving parents..thank you for your comment..i appreciated it!!!

[lindavang92]

Yo chic thats AWSOME!

[zoonkauj1]

[mwuax3]
