One of the BEST tahitian dance workoutsAug 28, 2009
By Marie
compared to many other forms of dance, there are not as many dvds that feature polynesian styles, especially tahitian dance. so I am always searching for new ones and am willing to take a chance and buy one I havent heard about. I am sooooooo glad I bought this, it is an Authentic tahitian dance class, in studio that takes you beautifully through basic, intermediate, and advanced steps. the instructor, who is heard on voice over, takes you "down to the floor" several times using either the tahitian bump or ami technique. there is also a chance to practice the duck walk (the move where dancers scoot across the floor in a squatting position, all while continuing to do the tahitian bump.
you wouldnt think after 20 minutes of this you would be sweating, but I bet you will. there is also another workout section featuring hula, not as intense, and a beautiful demonstration of a couples style hula dance, plus more demos of poi ball.
this is an unknown gem and I hope that riki liufau produces more great dvds!!!

Get ready to sweat!Aug 10, 2007
By Anya Damico

This DVD was the best exercise program I ever spent money on! You will learn all the best authentic moves of the Tahitian dance. Some basics of hula is covered along with the poi balls and fire knife. The Tahitian portion is the longest covered and is very well instructed.

Polynesian Dancing for Fitness and Fun, Super!... I Love It!... one of my favorite part is they have Live Drummer on Class!. I had a great time learning basic and intermedia steps & moves, also the meanings of hands figures, etc., wow its a good work-out at least I took 2 ltr. of water, even the video looks from 1990's is very very instructional. Plus great shipping & price.

By Nobody
I have so much fun with this workout! My friend and I bought cheap Hula skirts at Party City and we have a blast with this dvd! What I love about it is that it's like being in a real class. And it's very challenging! You are going to sweat and your thighs will burn! I wish they'd put out some more dvds!
