Siva Samoa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 and hands are done so in a subtle but delicate manner.In earlier times, high chiefs or matais performed this special dance but modern day it is performed by a taupou.

Other forms of traditional Samoan dancing include the taualuga and sasa.
