Tahitian Dance
The graceful and powerful dance of Tahiti
Tahitian dance is called ‘Ori Tahiti in the Tahitian language and literally means the dance of Tahiti.
‘Ori Tahiti is one of the styles of the great Polynesian Dance family and is an original artistic expression linked to ancient Polynesian traditions.
It is a beautiful art that continues to spread around the world.
‘Ori Tahiti is a unique dance style characterised by its dynamic movements danced together with the energetic drums of the Ote’a style and by the sweet and graceful movements danced together with the joyful and harmonious songs of the Aparima style.
Tahitian dance gives a lot of benefits: it gives a tonic and sinuous body, working on a better posture, muscle tone, articular flexibility, motor coordination and balance. it can help you get a slimmer midriff by engaging your waistline muscles and also helps you lose weight by reducing belly fat. It also develops strong core muscles giving you an upright and correct posture. The constant tension on the legs helps tone them.
Classes are conducted by KAILANI POLYNESIAN DANCE, a dance academy specialised in Polynesian Dances created and directed by Daniela Belluati. KAILANI POLYNESIAN DANCE has its schools not only in England but also in Italy with the same programs and teaching methods.
