A Never Ending Culture
Echoes of Polynesia is
a dance group born out of pure passion, dedication, enthusiasm
and cultural respect.
Commencing in the early
1990's, the group aims to project a message of cultural
diversity, joy and tranquility in the entertainment of its
audience.
The group takes us on a voyage
across the South Pacific ocean, evoking feelings of peace, love
and harmony.
The venture began when a small
collective of Polynesian families and their children gathered
with a common goal to teach, learn and maintain the cultural
ties to the various Polynesian traditional dance and music
styles of the Cook Islands, New Zealand, Hawaii, Tahiti and
Samoa.
Ranging from as young as two years of age through to adults, the
majority of the group are Australian born and recognise this
activity as a great opportunity to maintain the generational
links to their cultural heritage.
The Echoes of Polynesia
dancing group has developed into a confident performance group
capable of captivating its audience with the multi-cultural
sounds and spirit of Polynesia.
