The Samoan's are pretty big people, even their children! I remember working at a Daycare and there was a Polynesian family that recently moved straight from Hawaii to Maine and they dropped off their son and let me tell you, that little boy was HUGE! and only 3 years old. He was not at all overweight just really big boned and a bit bigger than the rest of the children. He was super cute though ^_^ i miss him and the rest of the kiddos.
I really like the dancing. Regardless of fame, Dwayne remembers his tradition. However, I disliked the background music from the studio. Rude and/distracting.
That raw passion for our culture that every Islander is born with. I love watching these. Malo Seiuli and a tip of the hat to your esteemed African American roots. This boy's a Savage and we couldn't be more proud. ✊✊
He's actually Black and Samoan, He holds dual citizenship in american and in Canada because he payed for the stampeder's in the nfl and he was born here in hayward
Regardless of being half Afro-American and Polynesian blood, it's soooooooooooo damn heart warming seeing "STARS" as Dwayne the Rock Johnson taking pride in his Cultural roots, having the time to promote his SAMOAN Culture to the World. I'm sure that all those women heart rate jumped up 10 bpm and now booking holiday tickets to Polynesia after seeing the Rock and the 2 Polynesian Warrior dancers!!!!!! Ha ha ha..... Well done uso..."CHEEEEEOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO"
@MUFC wow, down here in the southern hemisphere dude, we like SMASHING and Bowling people over hence why we play no HOLLYWOOD despite football players getting paid Millions....RUGBY N RUGBY LEAGUE is our game. Football is good but not to our Liking.😁👍
Im so sori to all my dear friends who replied to my comment i didnt mean to hurt anybodys feeling please im terribly sori it doesnt mean i dicriminated anybody espcially my black friends please i like anybody whether youre black or white im so so sori please let us be friends altogether again......please
kenway leviathian He is half. His father is black. And even black people be claiming him. My husband swears he is related to the rock. I'm like sure you are.
p.o.p holdin His genes would explain why he is so called "pasty". bi people and people mix with black can be light, tan or dark. It all depends on what their genes want to do. But his dad is black.
I am part Asian/Pacific Islander myself, this dance connects us to our most distant ancestral seafaring heritage..My student is Tongan she is an amazing dancer (10 yrs old).....Thank you Dawyne Johnson, my soul honour your soul, honour God our Maker, honour the Lord of Heavens for his timely rain and the fruitful seasons. Our Heavenly Father “makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good and makes it rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Matt. 5:43-45) Mahalo my brother and may your family be safe during the difficult times we are in right now.
@@AreLL but he understands Samoan language and can speak a few Samoan words coz he was born outside Samoa..he's proud to be Samoan learning his culture..I don't care whether he's half what..all we know that he's got Samoan blood and he's soo proud of it
just some knowledge though, Hawaiian did not always have only Ks (Kauai is really Taua'i according to the real Taua'i people)...even to this day you can find Hawaiians who use T when appropriate..K is big island dialect that became dominant because Kamehemeha is from there and obviously he conquered and united all of Hawaii..
Do some research about Tagata Polenisia or study history of how all Polynesians connected, as well as, why their cultures and traditional ways of doing things are similar, even similarities of languages...
@Manoa IGNORANT PPL TEACH IGNORANCE HUMAN BEINGS WHO DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING UNLIKE YOURSELF, AREN'T IGNORANT UNLESS THEY CHOSE TO NOT ACCEPT A PROVEN FACT OR TOLD TO BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY....AS IN, THE CORPORATE MEDIA. ELSEWISE CUT PPL SOME SLACK GENIUS, WE CAN BE CORRECTED.
I've been watching many movies of him many, many times...I'm a Polynesian ancestry from Fiji (I'm Rotuman native by the way), and seeing Rock doing island style makes me feel proud of where I come from and proud of my identity and culture. Proud to be Polynesian. Faiak'sia (thank you). Love from Fiji. ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇯🇼🇸
Even the smaller built Samoans have muscle definition or thick muscles lol and I'm also talkin bout the really skinny ones. Pretty much u never see a scrunny Samoan. Theres a difference so I agree with u
What are people talking about, the facial expressions MAKE THIS DANCE!!! They're perfect for the song and the whole vibe and remind me of the Polynesian dance which name I forget rn and It FITS
As a Samoan I love doing traditional dances. I look up to Dwayne and get more confidence every time I see him doing these dances. You guys should search up different types of traditional dances from Samoa. Dwayne if you see this: o lo’u tama o Joedacy😎
The dance is known as "The HAKA" in and from the Polynesian Islands/Pacific Triangle! That was a shorter and calmer version. #Cheeeheee #HAKA #PolysCanDanceToo #ImFromHI
My maternal grandad mother is the sister of the father of Dwayne the Rock Johnson adopted maternal grandmother, they were both born and raised in the village of lalomanu, at the southern point of Upolu, the main island of Samoa 🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
Feels AMAZINGLY GOOD to be two parts NATIVE AMERICAN: Cherokee ((mother's side)) & Lakotah Sioux ((father's side))🌜🌞🍂🎤🎸🎹🎵 Great performance!!! L💙VED it completely. P.S. After 20 years of being a HUGE fan.......I can still ´´Smell What The Rock Is Cooking´´°°°°°°°and it smells GOOD!!!!!!!
Australia is in the Southern Pacific Ocean - we have a very large population of Islanders from Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Māori, Cook Islanders, Solomon Islands. Many now call Australia Home & being of a very large build - they are tough & make excellent Footballers. It can take upto 3 white Footballers to stop a huge Islander scoring a Try…..it’s like trying to stop a Locomotive.
The Samoan's are pretty big people, even their children!

haha yup..you like a big boned guy?
Wolfgirl93 wrong.
kester110 - She was talking about our cocks. We have the biggest "bone" 😘
I get it
ArabsLOOKlikeOsama Sandmonkey I think you mean Very Muscled :P
There’s a difference between Fat and Muscle
(Maui from Moana for example)
I really like the dancing. Regardless of fame, Dwayne remembers his tradition.
However, I disliked the background music from the studio. Rude and/distracting.
David Edwards I thought he is Samoan?
Thank you. It's like "heres a taste of our polynesian culture." Wow, nice. *plays bust a move in the background*
Prometheus Venom he’s half Samoan
Prometheus Venom He is. Many Samoans have lived in Hawaii and vice versa.
Yea I didn’t like that shit either very disrespectful.
I love The Rock!!!! He can be absolutely hilarious, yet serious at the same time!!!
Same here legend
That raw passion for our culture that every Islander is born with. I love watching these. Malo Seiuli and a tip of the hat to your esteemed African American roots. This boy's a Savage and we couldn't be more proud. ✊✊
I feel like Polynesians are one of the most toughest people in the world 💪😀
Julia Gonzalez they are
we are baby. no doubt
Just Like Latino People...
Girl you got it right 💪
As a samoan im the most sexiest samoan boy you will ever seen......
*_its feels good being an islander!_*
Khya Marr
Micronesian, Polynesian, and Melanesian mix. I applaud your ancestors good sir.
Khya Marr Kiribati too? I'm half kiribati half spanish
and an ARMY?
I'm a proud Samoan!!!!chuhuhu...
Finally someone that is māori and is a ARMY
I love how Dwayne Johnson remembers his roots and tradition.
Dwayne Johnson, Manu Bennett, Jason Momoa and Nicole Scherzinger are my favourite celebrities from Polynesians (Samoan).
the Rock is Samoan. Not Hawaiian unlike the description says. it's still polynesia but the countries are different.
Noor Arjmand hes african american and samoan
Tom Rain I don't know that calling her "a racist piece of shit was entirely necessary"
Tom Rain how am i racist when all i said was he is black to
Heaven Porterfield actually he's black Nova Scottian. Hence why he is a citizen of both the U.S. and Canada.
He's actually Black and Samoan, He holds dual citizenship in american and in Canada because he payed for the stampeder's in the nfl and he was born here in hayward

@MUFC wow, down here in the southern hemisphere dude, we like SMASHING and Bowling people over hence why we play no HOLLYWOOD despite football players getting paid Millions....RUGBY N RUGBY LEAGUE is our game. Football is good but not to our Liking.😁👍
He hates his black side he stays away from it so WRONG
As you may didn't know, that Rock's father, Rocky Johnson (correct me if I'm wrong) was Canadian of African ancestry.
Are you Polynesian?
Polynesian people are some of the most beautiful people they are always happy
As a Chamorro (from the island of Guam 🇬🇺 ) I think it’s amazing that we have The Rock to spread awareness of Pacific Islander culture ❤️❤️
Biba Guahan!
The Samoan dance called faataupati or slap dance wow wow wow so beautifull .......you nailed it
Im so sori to all my dear friends who replied to my comment i didnt mean to hurt anybodys feeling please im terribly sori it doesnt mean i dicriminated anybody espcially my black friends please i like anybody whether youre black or white im so so sori please let us be friends altogether again......please
@@puiaifonofilileota5428 apology accepted......
That moment when all the Samoans think The Rock is their uncle😂😂😂 HAHAHA that was me lol but proud to be Samoan🇼🇸🙌🏻 cheeeehoooooo
p.o.p holdin it down I'm samoan and that's true af
p.o.p holdin it down i thought he was black
kenway leviathian He is half. His father is black.
And even black people be claiming him. My husband swears he is related to the rock.
I'm like sure you are.
Ash M I thought his dad was white. Explains why he's pasty
p.o.p holdin His genes would explain why he is so called "pasty". bi people and people mix with black can be light, tan or dark. It all depends on what their genes want to do.
But his dad is black.
My late Father looked up to him. And now, I'm following in my Father's footsteps till this day and forevermore.

Mahalo my brother and may your family be safe during the difficult times we are in right now.
I just Fell in Love with Dwayne all over again. Simply because he is representing his culture so strongly. It truly resonates with me.
There a Samoan man the rock.......so proud of you Mr Dwaine Johnson
Raiders stop! We know he's African American. Get it right... he's mixed. Afakasi meuli. So you need to get it right.
Same thing, 99% of the blacks from Nova Scotia originate from the U.S. and fled to Canada during slavery in the U.S.
Half Black Half Somoan
puiai leota he doesn't even speak Samoan. Using our culture when it benefits him. 💰 💰
@@AreLL but he understands Samoan language and can speak a few Samoan words coz he was born outside Samoa..he's proud to be Samoan learning his culture..I don't care whether he's half what..all we know that he's got Samoan blood and he's soo proud of it
Talofa lava! O' lo'u igoa o Arthur. Oute sau mai Texas! ♥️🇼🇸
Proud to be samoan!!
Manaia lau faasamoa Arthur now your a Taxan Samoan sole 😊
Leai la o kama Sese lea
The rock still didn't forget his Samoan tradition....
Luv this man and his attitude towards others!! He is the Perfect role model for the youth of today!!
Eve Alex not that it matters
Yeah, especially when he's talking about inventing a child molesting robot, right? 😕
th-cam.com/video/5eTFIexO7lQ/w-d-xo.html
really rocky you gotta oil up for 30 secs with your shirt off lol
Allan Mccann Yes! It's cultural not just showmanship. Oil symbolizes purity
Right teasing us with all that sexiness.
I did not know that, Mia!
Then why didn’t the other guys do it lol
TwiztedJuggalo25 because they don't have too.
I love it when The Rock and Jason Mamoa put their culture on display. I'm STILL waiting for them to do a movie together!!🤞🤞
Well looks like you’re getting your wish in the next fast and furious movie
Just when I thought I couldn't adore Dwayne Johnson more than I already do!
I'm part Samoan and tibetan but more of tibetan body I wish I have that Samoan body love for all the uso proud to be Samoa
Native Hawaii? He's Samoan. Hence the T's in the language he was just speaking.
just some knowledge though, Hawaiian did not always have only Ks (Kauai is really Taua'i according to the real Taua'i people)...even to this day you can find Hawaiians who use T when appropriate..K is big island dialect that became dominant because Kamehemeha is from there and obviously he conquered and united all of Hawaii..
He's Biracial

Yeah. Big time Haha
Gracie Anderson Lilly*

Beautiful Dwayne😍😊
I’m glad he is so proud of his culture/ origins
I love that man!He`s so natural in every way!
They are very tall and most of them are natrually built like body buliders most do not use steroids
False
Well we samoans do have steroids but its called Taro and corned beef.....it what makes you big
Even the smaller built Samoans have muscle definition or thick muscles lol and I'm also talkin bout the really skinny ones. Pretty much u never see a scrunny Samoan. Theres a difference so I agree with u
@@rarebreed6713 i think their big boned
Back in the island well yes, the ones who live off their plantations yes. But the ones who live off processed food from outside the island then NO.
My heart beats for this guy 😍
th-cam.com/video/w86rotpPU1Q/w-d-xo.html .,
Seeing the Rock doing his native dance sure sped my heart beat up
I found a new ability of him on every videos of him.. Now dancing.. What a legend
The Rock took a quick oil bath. Reppin all Polynesians!!. Much love uce.

The title would be better described as “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson does a traditional Samoan slap dance”
@Soteria Lago'o nah pukio
That's so beautiful, feel the good vibes...
I am Tribal Mizo Boy too.. Love from Northeast India Mizoram Aizawl city

Samoan guy starts doing fire dance so they start playing Young MC - Bust a Move 😂😂😂

I'm now convinced that Dwayne will try his best to get good at anything he wants to and eventually making the audience happy.
He should have done that before his match vs Steve Austin....
Austin would've already lost before the match even got started then....lol
Aye love to see my culture out there. Love it!!
I literally want to become famous just to show off how amazing our Polynesian cultures are.
This is so awesome man
That tribal dance is called "Samoan fire and slap dance"
William T correction! Siva afi or Nifo Oti and the Fa’ataupati.
CHEEEEEHOOOOOO 🇦🇸💪🏾
