Are the results of the dancing posted anywhere to be seen ? i would love to see the dancers from California and how they are doing . Photos? VIdeos?
Ia Orana John,
As far as we know, the dance groups from the US are going to perform this weekend or early next week in a separate venue not competing with the dance groups from Tahiti. So there is no head-to-head with O Tahiti E and the rest of the local groups. Details are hard to come by and schedules seem to fluctuate. We're try to get more information and will keep you posted as we get it. Mauruuru.
Thank you. My daughter is one of those performing , we were told they were dancing with the Ahutoru_Nui group from tahiti. They were suppose to dance on July 13th at the heiva.
Any information on this group would be greatly appreciated.
