Keiki Tahitian Begins February 4th!
Call (808) 935-7141 to register, or go to www.ywcahawaiiisland.org
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beginner Tahitian Dance for Keiki (ages 6-12):
Description: Tahitian dance is a combination of dance, theatrical expression and storytelling. Its beauty and uniqueness reside in the costumes that are often composed of the long skirts of natural fiber called more and intricate feather headresses, and in the way the female dancers' hips move quickly and rhythmically while the upper body stays strong and engaged. This artistic activity is very engaging to children from the earliest ages onward.
In Beginner Tahitian Dance for Keiki, we will learn basic posture and technique, a fun traditional song and choreography, and we will play traditional Tahitian dance games. Please dress your keiki in a pareu or sarong and a t-shirt/tank-top, and give them some drinking water for each session.
Mondays and Wednesdays
5:30 - 6:20pm
Fee: $60
