Directory of Polynesian Resources

Home > Arts > Performing Arts > Dance > Folk > Polynesian

This category contains English language sites relating to Polynesian traditional dancing styles. The most commonly known dance style is the Hula but there are many others (e.g. canoe dances). Polynesia covers a large area of the Pacific from New Zealand in the east to Hawaii in the west. Note that it is the Polynesian tradition of dance that is covered here so a Salsa studio in Hawaii would be suggested to the Salsa category. Islands that are within Polynesia include : Cook Islands, Easter Island, French Polynesia, Hawaii, Midway Island, New Zealand (Maori), Niue Island, Pitcairn Island, Samoa (American and Western), Tahiti, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Wallis and Futuna.
