a fa'arapu video came up seemingly randomly for me - and I''M HOOKED, just gotta have it. I am sure it will be useful in my life though I might need to change the life. Onwards and up. Great teaching, thank you for your patience and deep knowledge.
thank you for explaining half time and ami being back and faraapu being towards the front it really helped so much because i have never had that explained and haven’t had anyone say that in any other tutorials on here
Omgggggg, ur a lifesaver!.. When I tried to search 'how to do the box hula dance' it just give me ' how to rap a box '.....solo yeah!, GREAT WORK ON HELPING PPL HOW TO DO THIS THING" love ur vid
I feel lke I can not pick this up no matter what I do. I wil continue to practice, but it's like when I sway left my leg wants to bends left with it. I went to my first luau June 22nd. I'll never forget it. One day I hope to see another one, but in Philadelphia there really isn't a hawaiian population sadly. I am hoping I can learn enough to teach a few friends. This dance makes me feel really confident in me... Thank you for contributing to bettering my self-awareness
thank you for sharing your personal experience! you can use your back and stomach muscles to push back and pull forward. I hope that helps some.that would be great to get some friends together to learn! it makes it more fun!
Thanks for the tips, especially about the ami vs fa'arapu. I danced with Kel's Polynesia, and was always taught ami only. Also, My hips rotate in the opposite direction. I was disappointed that my tassels and skirt never moved as well as the other dancers.
Star Merrill you’re very welcome. I naturally go the opposite way too. But when I was told it was wrong I switched. Now it’s hard for me. The best of the best dancers can do both. Oooo video idea
you are so very welcome! I really enjoy sharing the little bit I know. I have 4 small children and I'm pregnant so getting vids done has fallen on the back burner. I hope to make some soon
When you taught Afata slowly at first you went forward and back with one hip. Then when you faced the mirror you went forward with the left hip and back with the right. Then forward with the right hip and back with the left. I’m confused! Is it just me?
Im sure having some hips and booty helps tremendously to be able to do the farrapu lol. Lets see someone shaped like a board try and do this. My body doesnt want to do right😂😂😂 Id love to be able to do this... HELP ME!!😂😂😂 Ive always thought these dances were beautiful and i would so love to learn them. ❤ you're amazing at how you teach, my body just dont get it lol
Hi hi hi! I’ve danced for many years and there are plenty of dancers that come in different shapes and sizes. With practice you can definitely get there too. If you want to do a face time chat you can show me your faarapu and I can see what needs to implemented to get the basic movement locked in. Please reach out to me on Instagram thepileaplantshop
@thepileaplantshop9395 I will definitely take you up on that call, Thursday possibly if ur available. I'll let u know if Thursday is a for sure or not when I know of me husband is for sure going to work lol. I don't try and do these dances in front of him because I'm so embarrassed because I feel my body just don't move like it should. Thank you for offering FaceTime ❤❤
My kids used to dance for Tago, black pearl and Nonosina and the girls have wanted to return to dancing. The kids did shoes for the friends, Pioneer dinners. My parents anniversaries. And of course different locations when they were with the different halao
fromdebster it’s wonderful! I love love love mixing dancing with Jehovah , it is my passion to perform and I love teaching and sharing what I know especially with my friends ☺️ we are in the Bay Area, where are you guys? How old are your kids?
My son Joseph is 26 he was a regular Pioneer for 3 yrs and has been a servant for 6 now. My daughter Natalie is 20 and has been a regular for 2 1/2 yrs. Breanna is 17 she is a junior and does independent study and aux / Pioneer when it's 30 hrs.
Marukai is a Japanese store in Gardena they have Asian and hawaiian food , items like leis hello kitty, licence plates , paper pens flower clips etc.... They have Japanese furniture and a lot of kitchen ware.
fromdebster that’s amazing! How wonderful to see the fruits of hard work! Pioneering is wonderful! I was able to do it for 3 years and it really built up my faith. I love the special meetings that help us learn how to dig deeper, see things we might have overlooked.. I had to step aside for now with my gunner in school and the two babies it’s too much for me. Maybe later I can do it again, we will see.😁
fromdebster yes I do! I’m trying not to loose focus, so it’s all JW- small and intimate. I do charge for the basics and skill training and conditioning, but not for choreography- bc sometimes we do kingdom songs. And it’s a cheaper rate bc I don’t have the overhang of studio rent-
I really struggle with the afata the most and this is the most useful tutorial I've found !
Happy to hear that! I know it can be a hard move to master

Are you locking your knees on the afata on your toes?
Holly Groeschel yes when I’m in place. When I travel I don’t ( just almost)
Buen día. Me gustó mucho la class but. I do not habló inglés.
