Island Breeze Lū'au Polynesian Review
The Island Breeze show is filled with excitement, aloha and 'ohana,
(love and family). From the Fijian and Maori dances of war to the
gracefulness of our Hawaiian hula hands, we bring you and your family a
fun-filled evening. Our daring Samoan Fire knife dancer highlights your
experience with an astonishing demonstration of bravery and skill!
Hawai'i
Aloha! E Hele mai. Come and listen to the sounds... the distant call
of the Hawaiian chanter... and the beating of the ipu heke. We will
share the laughter, the color, the excitement and the joy of the
Hawaiian Hula.
Samoa
Talofa! Join the 'aiga (family) in Samoa where the people love life
and enjoy having a great time. You will be fascinated by the bravery and
courage of the Siva 'Afi (Samoan fire-knife dance).
Tahiti
Meet our cousins the first families to the Hawaiian Islands the
"Tahitians." After the islands were settled, they arrived in double
hauled canoes from the south. Come and listen to their resounding drums
and pounding rhythms and the dance "Ia Orana!"
Fiji
Bula Vinaka! Anthropologists believe the people of Fiji eventually
settled all of Polynesian. Their "meke", or spear dance fascinates
audiences because of the dancers agility.
New Zealand
Kia'ora! Native to New Zealand are the Moari. You are welcomed into
their whanau (family) and greeted with a haka by our Maori warriors.
Women compliment the strength of the men with their powerful "Karaga"
(chant) and the graceful "waiata a ringa" long poi ball dance. |
