Tahitian Drum Class!
Tahitian drumming classes start on Tuesday, May 20th, 6:30-7:30 pm at 'Ourspace', the art studio space below the Tea Bazaar on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville.
These classes run for a period of ten weeks. Price: $10/class or $100/session (you get a free Tahitian drum stick with full session payment).
Mou'a Vahine means
"Women of the Mountain" in Tahitian. During each of the dance
courses, we celebrate Tahitian culture through learning Tahitian words,
songs and dances.
W. Aniseh Burtner is your instructor. She has been studying
Tahitian dance for 8 years; in California, she danced with Ka Ua
Tuahine Polynesian Dance Company, an award winning ensemble based out
of Berkeley California and competed twice in the world famous San Jose Tahiti Fete. She was one of 7 student dancers invited to
travel to Papeete, Tahiti in the summer of 2002 to study and perform
with one of Tahiti's preeminent dance ensembles, Ori Here Maohi Dance
Company. In the spring of 2005, she spent 7 months studying and performing with
Fetia Tahiti in Paris, France. The group gave performances in
Paris and in Cannes.
