February CurriculumThis months curriculum for TUE/WED night classes: We will betidying up and getting moredetailed in our Samoan Siva andSasa. We will push our basics fromlast year to the next level. We will
have the students use creativity andteach them how to interpret hulamovements by having them helpcreate their next hula Do the hula
by Na Leo Pilimehana.
This monthscurriculum for FRInight classes: We willbe working onperformance
expressions and stagepresence as that is one majorweakness noticed in thePerformance Team last year! We willcontinue learning more Maori thismonth with the long pois. We willalso be working on a female hakafrom Ngati Porou Ka panapana.
Grading for Levels
This year we are going to givestudents the OPTION of grading forlevels. This is NOT MANDATORY,but offered for those wanting to takePolynesian Dance more seriously.We will have these grading sessionstwice this year (end of 1st term &end of 3rd term) to ensure everyonewho wants the opportunity toprogress & work hard can move
forward in
their trainingand skilllevels. Wewill givecurriculums
out about 4 weeks prior to the weekof grading to ensure everyoneUNDERSTANDS exactly what theywill be graded on in each level andhow the points will be awarded. If
you feel you are able to grade for ahigher level, you MUST pass allprevious levels before hand (this canbe done in the same session). Please
keep in mind that we are going to betaking this VERY seriously, and youwill NOT PASS unless you meet aminimum requirement ofaccumulated points with regards toPractical (dancing technique) andTheory (knowledge). Once you passinto a particular level, you will then
be required to purchase and wearthe appropriate uniform color. Forexample if you pass a certain levelyou will then need to order a redHeilani top and red pareu, and willbe the red team.
Costumes for 2010This year we will be having thePerformance Team start purchasing
their own implements and TahitianCostumes. The girls have workedvery hard and we feel they are readyto start learning some new things.We will be teaching HawaiianImplement numbers starting in the2nd term and we will be teachingthe girls to make their own TahitianCostumes in the 3rd term. Weunderstand that these things costmoney, but feel that the girls
deserve to start doing more & needthe supplies to do so. You can see
the cost of theHawaiianImplements inUSD on page 4,and the TahitianCostumes will
probably be around the $300 mark.We havent posted where to order
that from yet, as we are still trying tofind the best quality materials at themost cost effective prices. The girlswill be making their own costumesto OFF-SET the cost of LABOUR! Sokeep in mind for costumes andimplements that will last alifetime - if cared forproperly - this is a goodinvestment!REMEMBER - this is
optional, but in order toparticipate and performthese items - you musthave them!
