In the Kiribati dance, girls will cry because they were ecstatic. It is a cry of joy. However if a girl performs in front of a large enough audience for the very first time, she may break down in tears and stopped dancing. As a member of the audience, it is watching the dancers control their emotions that makes it more interesting for me to watch. A book entitled "A Pattern of Islands" by Sir Arthur Grimble (the author is long diceased and his book is no longer in print) explained the Kiribati dancing in a fascinating way from a non-native perspective.
