This is a tutorial that i found on youtube but also this what you will see in a samoan girl when she is dancing. samoan dance will always be performed at many occasions such as birthdays, family gatherings, church fundraiser etc.
Siva Samoa is the Samoan term for a Samoan dance. Traditional Samoan dancing is one area of the culture that has been the least affected by western civilisation. It requires the dancer to retain grace, movement of the arms & hands is done so in a subtle but delicate manner. In earlier times, high chiefs or matais performed this special dance but today it is performed by a taupou, a version of Siva Samoa. Other forms of traditional Samoan dances include the taualuga, siva afi, and sasa.
with this assessment ill be doing a collaboration with Kendra Leilua and for our main focus we will be doing siva samoa or samoan dancing. the dancing will be based around a samoan girl or TAUPOU. for this year or semester i will be focused on photography and my vision board shows that i will be focusing on my culture and also family based photographs showing away of my own identity.
