Dance Technique Workshop
Duration: 2 hours Focusing on the foundation of Ori, this workshop targets basic steps and their variations through drills in an effort to improve overall technique, ability, coordination, and stamina. Whether you are a seasoned dancer looking to strengthen your basics or a novice wanting to build a foundation, all will find a challenge in this session. Otea Choreography Workshop Duration: 2 hours This iconic, fast paced, and rhythmic style of dance utilizes the body to tell a story through the choreography, requiring coordination and a command of basic steps. Aparima Choreography Workshop Duration: 2 hours Aparimas tell stories through both song and dance. They are usually somewhat slower paced and softer in movement, but no less difficult and exhibit a strong central theme. |

It is your high intensity Otea done to non-Tahitian music where the focus is on having fun and breaking a sweat for a rhythmic cardio session all while practicing your basic Ori Tahiti steps.
