[Bulou06]

Oh my goodness, last time I did the tauolunga for this song was when I was in high school, can someone upload this song please...

[LiiSAHBAYBEE]

shes gotta stop moving her feet like she doing a siva LOL overall shee did a beautiful tauolunga :)

[999x24k]

@LiiSAHBAYBEE that's the OLD Tau'olunga style & also it may have to do with the song's theme "Loukie mei Ha'amoa"

[11huanuni]

Malie tau'olunga faka'ofo'ofa e ta'ahine

[Foipata1]

Can somebody tell me WHHY ya'll think this is the ACTUAL way the Tongan Tau'olunga is done?? Because CLEARLY you have no idea what your talking about!!

You cannot compare a Tau'olunga to a Lakalaka, as the pacing feet movements are unique to that dance. It is ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT that you would say this is the way we actually do this type of dance!. She looks like a chicken.

[Pacioney]

@Foipata1 hahahahha stop being too critical. she's a pretty girl, regardless.

[ffpl01]

@Foipata1 . I believe what people are refering to when they say "this is the ACTUAL way the Tongan Tau'olunga dance is done" is the way her tau'olunga is chreographed; slow and respectful linking her hand & feet gestures to the lyrics and melody's of the song. Unlike other tau'olunga's the movement fast-paced and sometime energitic movments may look "COOL" but total wrong, because the tau'olunga's origins is about virgins looking for husbands and showing off their grace to eiligible men.

[DEEliscouzBREED]

i love it ! everything wit the eyebrow moves and the teki and kalo kalo movements. everything is traditional, HOW A REAL TAUOLUNGA SHOULD LOOK LIKE...love it lotss =]

[Rouiserata]

Yes the feet movement is tongan. My mum said back in the days they had to move their feet like that when they tauolunga. It's only nowadays that the tauolunga is changing sadly.

[nwteine]

Great job...but I couldn't help noticing the major eyebrow action she was doing too!!! LOL...get it gurl!

[marceloperez1971]

Its a mixture of Tongan and Samoan feet movements....she probly not full tongan, even a full tongan dont move their feet like dat....very nice tauolunga though..:)

[TonganPride2000]

@marceloperez1971 she is full tongan. she my cousin. Ana's decendent.

[marcellin20a]

@marceloperez1971 shes tongan. It depends on who taught her

[Ladytaffy]

wow i haven't seen tau'olunga like this in a long time. to those that think the "foot movement" thing isn't tongan.... it is.. the tau'olunga is changing and unfortunately some do not know what the tau'olunga use to look like :(

[nonoaia676]

omg....u neva move u'r feet lyk dat in a tongan tau'olunga :] n das a very mini teunga...

[BASHMENT916]

Theres a huge difference. When Tongans move their feet in a tau'olunga it looks something like what she's doing. Samoans move their feet way different from what she's doing. Those feet movements she's doing is the only way you can move your feet in a Tongan tau'olunga. Of course other than walking, or slapping it.

[gogetem34]

malie tauolunga...feet movement is not samoan that's how the tongan tauolunga suppose to be... but nowaday people do whatever more like manga ha ha...

[linafonua]

To all those who think this is a samoan thing with the feet!!!!! ITS NOT!!!! THIS IS THE REAL TRADITION TONGAN TAUOLUNGA!!!! Thats how you teo the difference between a lakalaka wich is the way everyone dances these days!!!!!

[tdanfonua]

Anybody know who's daughter is doing the dance? looks like one of my nieces in Brisbane...

[SuNiQa]

Thats how they use to tau'olunga back in those old days...

[ro2ma]

Malie - Awesome. Although I'm curiousThis tau'olunga seems a little Samoan, the shuffling of the feet and slapping legs - is this because of where she's from in Tonga?

[1RAHRAH1]

@ro2ma I guess shes just dancing to the story that the song is telling (as a Tau'olunga should) hence the feet slapping to "pasi va'e pea ke vilo takai" which means to slap (or clap) the feet then turn around. The Samoan influence to this dance is also directly related to the story of the song which to my knowledge is called Sau'ilunga which is of samoan origin, and also features another samoan word "fa'ataupati" which means to constantly slap.

[janson84]

@ro2ma i thought the same, some of her movements has shades of a samoan taualuga especially her foot movement

[143shaba]

@ro2ma thats the traditional way of doing the tau'olunga in Tonga,...tau'olunga is changing the way they use to be back in the days..
