I was shocked to see more than a 100 thumbs down to such a beautiful dance that explains a bit about our Samoan independence. Maybe they're non Samoans that don't understand ♥️🤔
Wow! A most beautiful siva Samoa I've ever seen..Im not a Samoan but im crazy watching this n try to learnt coz i love Samoan dance..Alofa atu teine Samoa🌸
this is the most beautiful siva samoa I've seen in a long time. being a nz born and not being overly exposed to our aganu'u, I was pretty mesmerized throughout the entire siva and feel so proud of her performance and our little nation. the teachers training college choir was an awesome touch as well.
very traditional! seen many taupous dance but been waiting for one that would stand out, with grace and keeping to our traditions....watching this reminds me of how my grandma, once a great taupou , used to dance....none of that new age nonsense just good old Samoan dance! Thank you for sharing. Proud.
eyes followed hand movements all the way with a smile...good choice of song....graceful throughout...yes...I would say I LIKED this performance very much.
graceful...!!! gentle and breezy...!!! truly wonderful and rich testament of cultural and traditional pride...!!! thank you....this was awesome to watch...a feast to the eyes...!!!
truly traditional in all it's movements....untainted with the contemporary ones that contaminated the purity of this art of samoan traditional taupou dance...!!!
Beautiful 👏 It really doesn't get any better than this. Perfect song selection as well, bringing the old and new together. Makes me even more prouder of who I am no matter where I am!
Thank you for sharing this video with us all.I thoroughly enjoy everything that is Poly.This was a beautiful presentation of the wonderful Samoan culture.It was quite moving.You really touched my spirit with your gracious performance.Keep up the great work.It is lovely to see the youth of today embrace their culture,customs n traditions.Stay Blessed n Have a nice day n everyone on here too.
Janina Moaga do you have another Video Of you dancing? A close up one? I would like my niece to learn this dance from you by watching the video. We are located in Hawaii and I know you are far away, but your dance to this song is the best one I've seen so far. Please let me know. Thank you.
Very beautiful👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽my twin girls are half Samoan and would love to dance this as a surprise dance for their Quinceñera. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your culture I have embraced lovingly❤️💯🙌🏽
Very good, one of the best I have seen so far, she knows how to pace herself!!! Hopefully you'll never stop dancing babes your people need you!!! Become a master and then teach. I'm tired of seeing hiphop dances at floor shows.
Cellar Door yes because the Tongans Royal Family is Samoan decendes because they'd married Samoan womans in the times of the Tui Tonga empire invasion**the Taualuga was Samoan origin**
I often come back to this video since I came across it around my 21st (4 years ago). My favourite siva performance to watch and try emulate! Do you have the mp3 version of Manu o le Vaveao? If yes would you please consider emailing it to me? ☺ my family only has the casette and I'd love to do this song at my upcoming graduation dinner...
Hi Adeleina, Thanks for your lovely comment! Sorry it has taken me a while to write back - let me know if you still need an mp3 version of this song and I can try and look for my copy for you. It's a very simple Siva Samoa, it's all in the conviction & execution of it! :)
I don’t understand why there are 80 thumbs down! Her performance was beautiful and graceful ✨✨✨✨
must be the loko bad ones lol
It’s probably people who don’t understand our culture, which is ok.
