For twenty-six years she ran a studio in Roxboro, North Carolina where dance classes for children and adults were crafted to instil an appreciation for the arts, self-discipline and respect.

Dances of Tahiti for Children DVD

Tahitian Dance is the most exciting and popular of all Polynesian dances. In recent years more and more people are realizing that the original dance of grass skirts swishing to the rapid rhythm of drums is the Tahitian dance instead of the hula!

This is a FUN instructional video for the boy and girl dancer. Now anyone can learn how to dance Tahitian, the "Ori Tahiti", in these easy step-by-step lessons. Mirror-imaging concept is used in this DVD. The student will be learning by following the movements of the instructor as if looking into a mirror. Each step is taught with music which conditions the student to feel rhythm.

The lessons progress from simple movements to those of increased difficulty. Dances of Tahiti features two main types of dances that every dancer should know; Aparima: story telling by music and lyrics; and Ote'a: dance expressions by rhythmic drum beating. You will learn three dance routines and four basic steps. Each song is taught by a verse or phrase at a time. The music and dance are slowed down for easier learning, then the entire dance is done at performance speed.

Through games and improvisation, the children develop self-awareness and come to appreciate their expressive potential. This class will improve body awareness and foster self-confidence, emphasizing motor skills development and coordination, limbering and muscle-toning. This is as much for music readiness as it is for dance.
