Tahitian dance is so good for you! It is fast becoming a popular sport all over the world particularly in Japan, Mexico, the USA, Spain and France. Above and beyond its technical and sporting aspects, Ori Tahiti is also a way of discovering Polynesian values and beliefs: generosity, tolerance, sharing and a real zest for life. Dancing is also a way to express our emotions allowing us to reveal and assert ourselves.
This dance is the tangible heritage of Tahiti and its islands and has been making a slow but sure comeback since the 1950s. The specific dance steps have now been classified and Ori Tahiti is now officially recognised by the Tahitian Conservatory alongside other traditional dances.
However, it is without this official recognition that Tahitian dance has survived the centuries. This is a feature that makes Ori Tahiti an art form which, in essence, is intensely moving and dynamic. The work developed by Tahia aspires to contribute to the evolution of Tahitian dance. It is, for her, a quest for a balance between the traditions perpetuated by the Tahiti Conservatory and creativity. It is a vision that allows the development of the imagination and the expression of the personality of each and every one of us.
