"Mesmerizing Dance Tahitian dancers, known the world over for their passion and energy,aremesmerizing to watch whetherthe dance is slow and graceful or fast and rhythmic. Though dancing is a national pastime in Tahiti, the many dance schoolsrarelytake drop-in students. Don't let that stop you. Traditional Polynesian dance performancesare fantastic. Te Tiare Restaurant, at the InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa, offers Tahitian dance performancesduring dinner service on Friday nights. (If you catch the Tahitian dance fever, make plans to come back for the weeklong dance festival Heiva I Tahiti, held every July."
