Hula dance is just one of the many polynesian dances that we perform and teach here at AtlantaHulaDance:

		Hawaiian Hula Dance The characteristic slow and graceful movements emphasize the hips and hands. The choreographies tell storries about every day live in Hawaii.
		Tahitian Ori and Ote'a Dance Tahitian costumes are known for their beautiful tall headdresses, grass skirts and hand tassels. The Otea dancers move their hips to fast energetic drum beats.
		New Zealand Maori Dance The best known prop for Maori dance are the poi balls, which are attached to long cords and swung in cirles around the poi dancers. At night (and outside, please), they can be set on fire for a spectacular display. A Kapa haka is a group gathered to practise and perform the songs and dances of the Maori people of New Zealand. Kapa means "row" in Maori, and much of the performance is given with the performers in rows.

Many styles of Polynesian Dance exist including the religious based ancient Hula Kahiko; the modern Hula ‘auana using instruments such as the ukulele; the Tahitian Ori dance, and the traditional New Zealand Maori.

Where does polynesian dance originate from? Polynesia is a large grouping of over 1,000 islands scattered over the central and southern Pacific Ocean. Polynesia may be described as a triangle with its corners at Hawaii, New Zealand and Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Inside are the islands Samoa and Tonga, the Cook Islands and French Polynesia.
