Dances of Life is very informativeJun 21, 2009
By Bernadette Cordova
Dances of Life was not only entertaining but it also gave me a new insight into other Polynesian islands I was not aware of. I learned more about the culture of different Polynesian islands I already knew existed. They did not show the Tahitian islands culture though. There was a short video about Tahitian dancing at the end of the film, but no explanation of the Tahitians. I think there should be more sequels to the Dances of Life DVD, with more dance expert and historians speaking about the culture of each island. It would be very useful to Polynesian dance instructors on the U.S. mainland, as well as potential tourists who may want to visit the various Polynesian islands.
