Here is a link to a traditional dance of Maori women.
We had this at school in the 1960s..Sometimes learned the dance at school. I love the carefree easy going song of this Poi Dance on U tube.
Here is the link..
However, my ancestry is mainly from the UK, plus Ireland, and Scotland , Cornish and Scandinavian and Western Europe. Mostly to me, that is a dim blur because I am 6th generation Kiwi.

I like the dance, the rhythm and the smiles of the dancers. Thus, everything gathered captivates you with dizzying aspiration. Thanks for sharing this post with us Pam.
Thanks Elenka, Maoris have a lovely light hearted approach to life..
Very interesting. I have never seen this before.
I always loved both watching and participating in this dance, thanks Dawn
Very cool Pam. Thanks for this, I have nothing to share for now.
No worries Carol, glad you like the poi dance.
I had the good fortune of watching this while holidaying in NZ.
India has many States and that many traditional dances. I will post a link of Goan dancing

This made me smile this morning. I loved it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I suspect I would sturggle to present a fair representation of the First People’s dances. Their culture is the first in the US.
I love the picture, and the dance is very cool. I am familiar with the war dance (The Haka?) but this one was new to me!
@DocAndersen, I like the Haka as well. I am not sure we should risk war dances here!
I concur! we need to be careful with that display currently!
