This is one of the Peace Corp volunteers dancing on Marakei. Even I-Matang (white people) can feel the spirit of the mwaie (the dance) hence the giggles amongst the audience.

  • I'd give her a 9/10..Not bad for a foreigner

  • that's cool.

  • i would praise her for her open mind :) but yer i would giggle a little. not at her tho

  • Well, now that you realize this, do you think you'd laugh at another foreigner dancing the kamaitoa? Or would you take delight and sing along and praise her for her participation?

  • not really, due to us kiribati people being second to the masai tribe for being really humorous about everything, we tend to laugh to stuff weve never seen before, i mean you dont see a an i-matang dancing a kaimatoa dance now and then.

  • she did an excellent job despite being nervous.....way to go girl....

  • this is wonderful. The dance is great i guess my people are just overjoyed in seeing you performing a great dance. Thank you for your help. E bati n rabwa.

  • Are they making fun of her?

  • Probably the reason why Peace Corp closed up,just my opinion cause of Kiribati relations to Cuba I assumed?

  • E matoa te kai ae!
