This series will focus on ‘Ōte’a, a traditional dance style from the island of Tahiti. This foundations class will cover basic movement terminology, musical rhythms, choreography, and improvisation. We will build on the basic movements to then participate in a piece that uses both choreographed and improvised dance. In addition to the dance and music, participants will learn the cultural, historical, and contemporary significance of ‘Ōte’a, and how to engage with cultural dance as conscientious and open learners, dancers, and storytellers.

🌿The Living Culture Series are masterclasses and class series with stewards and practitioners on cultural practice and integration. This series offers the space to learn from experienced practitioners on how culture is lived, created, & carried forward, and to engage with the power of creativity and cultural values.
