  • Aloha, Talofa, & Iaorana! Thank you so much for clicking on this video! I am sharing some clips from a live class i ran last week. In this video, you have some short warm-up drills, Beg/Int. combos to traditional pehe & 'Aparima combos! Take what you want from this whether it is music or dance. Keep in mind, I am training and getting back into shape as well so my technique falls out of place and my arms are not perfect! We are here to grow together!

    I'm 68 and just getting started...soooo...if you hear of an old lady croaking in a weird position...It's me!!
    I used to belly dance in my younger days...this is great exercise to strengthen muscles used in child birth. I had three natural childbirth and I know my conditioned muscles were of benefit.

    • @ayabaheera
      @ayabaheera Před 7 měsíci

      @@dalebecause2467 Thank you! ^_^

    • @ayabaheera
      @ayabaheera Před 7 měsíci

      ​@@pervy.sage86 The similarity is in the isolated hip movements. The difference is in how the movements are executed. It's hard to explain in text, but in most styles of belly dance, the movements are contained and subtle than Tahitian. In Tahitian the movements are larger and more pronounced. It requires more bend in the knees to complete the movements the way she does it. The arm positions are also a bit different.

    Post covid still quarantined one here. Missed my bellydance practice, god knows when i'll be able and allowed to practice again.
    I meanwhile really enjoyed this sort of "class". Polinesians dances are probably my next fav from now on. While i'm watching it, i'm still practicing it in my living room, and i am not feeling that much isolated and disgraced anymore. So i thank you heartfeltly.

    Thank you for the great rhythms and dance moves. My senior citizen body is ultra stiff from lying around with this shelter-in-place, Covid!9 lockdown (in CA, SF Bay Area) and I'm looking for something to motivate me to exercise. This may be it. I enjoyed the drums and freeing energy. Knowing nothing about Tahitian dance, I watched the whole thing and even got up to stretch and do some hip circles. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll be watching!
