But its all taken quite seriously here we're there.. one of the nice things about taking people to these islands is the interaction with local culture.. Looking forward to getting there again this Sept 09.

You are right.this dance is from one of the central islands of vanuatu and unlike fiji, vanuatu is made up of totally different people who inhabit its islands. Totally different traditions, origins and definately different languages so this type of costumes and dancing is only from some of the central islands and the northen islands, not the custom dresscode of vanuatu.
