Learn the art of Ori Polynesia and Tahitian dance– get your hips rolling and swaying Ori Tahiti (Tahitian Dance) style.

No experience necessary!

Ori Polynesia is a class based on Tahitian Dance led by Melissa.

Learn about the warm, generous spirit, culture and joy this dance has to offer.

We will cover drum beats of Tahiti whilst learning Tahitian dance moves and techniques, drills, combinations and learn a Tahitian O’tea choreography.

Some elements involve fast and ferocious drums, which we learn how to dance to, and other elements which are slow, soft & flowy.

Ori Polynesia will give you a thoroughly therapeutic, graceful and rewarding workout.

The dance supports harmony, unity, balance, and meaning both within ourselves, our dance experience and our lives.

Tahitian Dance is not just connecting with ourselves, its about learning to live, dance, and be at one with everyone and everything around us.

 Learn hand gestures and movements, Ori Tahiti hip work including the famous “Fa’arapu“, build strength, develop technique and speed with drums, learn graceful elegant softer slower movements such as the “Varu” which is the Ori Tahiti figure of 8 and feel like a Polynesian dance Goddess of the Islands.

Melissa believes in having a loving and supportive family of students and dancers, a safe, supportive and encouraging atmosphere, a home in which all members can grow, share and learn.

When you join our classes you also become a member of our family.

Prepare to sweat, tone up, dance and have fun!
