"O Tahiti E" best couple and solo at Heiva I Tahiti 1997

From www.ica.pf Best couple "Gilles hollande" award and best solo "Donover" award during Heiva I Tahiti 1997 from "O Tahiti E" group.
I must explain what this kind of solo is "Josie & Don Over": The name "Josie & Don Over" is the name of a famous american (and his wife) who visited Tahiti there is a several years ago... a rich man who was so fanatic pre european Polynesian dance; at his death, he left writings to donate each year to the best female dancer of old style ORI an award (money). Since this time a dance was dedicated to him and that each year the Polynesians reminds it by organizing a contest...
This dance consists in dancing like the ancestors of the Polynesians (without Bras)...Very pleasant to look at, but also a single dance who pleased all!

it's not called HULA in Tahiti and Cook Islands!

[teriimataha]

you're right it's called HURA in TAHITI and URA in COOK ISLANDS

this is amazing....

i suggest to people that denounce this type of dance with the legs open, that if you dont live in tahiti, arent tahitian and dont understand the dance and what its about.

SHADDUP!

Maybe I don´t understand this kind of dance, but for me it´s the nicest dance which I´ve ever seen : ) For me it´s a dance of sensuality, sexuality and nature. Briliant! I wish dance it also : ) but with my Bearrrrrrrrrrrrr !!! Hunnyyyy, I love you dear! ; )

I loved the choreography of duets, also the end, ignored the story of "Josie & Don Over", thanks for sharing, Tahitian culture is charming!
