Manumea Dance Tutorial - MaryJane, Moemoana & Moeatalagi Schwenke

Former Miss Samoa and Miss South Pacific MaryJane Schwenke and her daughters Moemoana and Moeatalagi share some background on the special dance that MaryJane performed as her talent when she won the Miss Samoa title in 1997.
The dance is called 'Ufi le manu ua gase' which is about Samoa's national bird the treasured Manumea which is in danger of becoming extinct.
Here they teach the movement and choreography so you can dance it yourself.

Traditinal, old school Samoan Siva similarly to the Tongan dance is very different from now-a-days. However, both beautiful and I admire both. Anybody else not liking this can kick rocks, or simply change the channel its not for you obviously

I'm not from Samoa, but i was doing a research about the manumea for school and I don't know how to express it but i found this dance impressively beautiful, it so nice to learn about other cultures.
