Wow she definitely looks more grown up now. Beautiful. Her style looks more traditional (?) Tahitian reminds me of Natalia Louvatt somehow. Good job! ❤
Depends what you mean by traditional as it’s really no such thing. Ori was banned by missionaries and King Pomaree to get political power. Ori was then revived back in the 40’s/60’s. Since then the dance has gone through countless stages to look like how it does today and it’s still evolving through modern groups. What was once seen as modern is now the norm. I think you mean to say it looks more Tahitian and less US competition style dancing? As Ori was never meant to be soloist. That’s purely a western import as is competition dancing. Ori Tahiti was always a group dance. Natalia was groomed by Makau Foster since little. Tamariki Poerani isn’t modern, but Tahiti Ora which she used to dance with, is.
Lol similar doesn’t mean the same. It’s just that both are core dances, and Ori Tahiti has adopted a few belly dance steps besides jazz and ballet through modern groups…
Always amazed at her wonderful talent!!
Beautiful! 😍

Tahitian dance is almost similar to belly dancing, it’s uncanny.
