  • nice, traditional, but none of the moves performed are really hard, should put in some BTB weaves and BTB Butterflys. Hardest trick i saw was one handed butterfly.

  • What is the BTB weave and BTB butterfly?

  • I have never seen the poi perform like that before?... with the hula n tahitan music???

  • Our family dance company fuses different Polynesian styles of dance and music together. Do you like it?

see all

  • @Patarik22 tahiti paradisia by Fenua.I hope it's not too late^^

  • i really like the song what is it?

  • ok so i am maori myself and find that this is ok!

    lol i probly would not teach it to any Tamariki but then in saing that, im verry pleasd to see that the efort was made to fuse the two! the Poi and the Hula,

    come on....... we (maori ) use the gat! and im sure thats not maori and it is part of our songs! doesnt it make our Waiata sound better? Aroha nui, to our islander Whanau! go on we come from the islands its in our Pakiwaitara so dont be Nanakia whanau!

  • It says POI DANCE people. Many cultures in the pacific use the poi, where does it say it is exclusively a Maori thing only? Where do you think Maori got it from? Because we all come from the same place. The only ignorance here are the 'racist' comments.

  • @maorisoulman a agree, i don't see why there is so much anger towards this video. I think they did well considering it's only a FUSION as maorisoulman says, it is merely to honour each polynesian people.

  • whats the name of the song?

  • what a mockery to me! I am Maori- we do the poi; I am also rarotongan & tahitian- we do not d the poi, only the guys do a fire poi- but still, it's not called the poi.....

    what a total mockery on me

  • This is awful!!! Shame on you for mixing your exposed bellies and tortuous understanding of culture. You lack the understanding of the beautiful Maori culture. SHAME ON YOU!!! YOUR IGNORANCE IS EVIDENT.

  • Ew wtf is this shit

  • soorryy.. this fails..

    culture is culture.. yu cannot mix 2 because yu need to spice it up or something..

    thts a fkn disgrace
