You would have to go to Ono i lau and learn this one from them or find someone from that island who knows it to teach it to you. There are a few Lautonga who live in NZ, Australia, USA but Lau group has many islands and each island has their own lakalaka, tauolunga, meke......
Some of this lakalaka you can also see if you search for "lakalaka sawana vanua balavu" where it was performed for adi Litia Cakobau Mara's wedding. Another great lakalaka was performed for the queen on Bau island. and then another one titled "teu tulou moe" performed in albert park Suva, for the 1954 royal visit to Fiji where you will also see a "meke wesi" called "manua sa yawa", performed by the people of Vaturova Cakaudrove.
@kalanimose They are Fijians.....from Ono i Lau...(last fijian island abt half n hour by boat to Tonga...so a strong Tongan culture Influnce are obvious on the island
Yeah I lived in Vanuatu for a year, there's a village called Mele really close to Port-Vila and I was surprised that their language was similar to Samoan. My Samoan friend would speak to them in Samoan and they would answer back in their language. I remember several words...like thank you in Mele it's "fa'afetai po lava" and Samoan it's just "fa'afetai lava". Also ear was "Taliga" same as Samoan...many other words like "Malo" "Tagi" etc were similar to Samoan. My buddy said the vocabs were similar but the sentence structure was a little different but they understood each other.

tongan influence and blood !
Lauan people are mostly Tongans
No
Heritage only

Wow Tonga and Fiji have some similar outfits and language
moesha pempengco yes they do same blood same Culture.
This is Lau. It is the part of Fiji which is heavily Tongan influence. The West of Fiji do not do these dances.
Yes this is in fiji But from a province East of Fiji and West of Tonga, this is Lau
I was being specific because this is not 'FIJIAN' this is 'LAUAN' Understand?
Taniela Uata if its LAU, its Fiji
isa my mum and talevu in the front and my two couzins at the back.
Tongans and Fijians and also the other smaller islands like Futuna and Vanuatu have similar dances and costumes
moesha pempengco yes one Big family from Ancient history.
Vanuatu?
