What a weekend! Paul’s mother, Colleen Ta’i Ta What a weekend! Paul’s mother, Colleen Ta’i Tavai of TAVAI’S Polynesia, started the very first Polynesian Dance section in Canada at the Surrey Dance Festival @surreydancefest in 1969 that continued until 1981. Paul entered his own brand new Halau in 1975 and entered yearly until the close of the Polynesian section in 1981 ... and THAT was the year that he created “Festival Polynesia!” Then the Surrey Dance Festival opened up an international section of which Paul’s dancers have been participating in along with many other ethnic groups, off and on for many years. This year, we competed 12 numbers - 11 solos and 1 group number! I am so proud of each and every one of my dancers for all their hard work, their dedication to learning and preserving the authenticity of our Polynesian culture, and for doing so well this past weekend at Surrey Dance Festival! many of which obtained personal bests! Congratulations to all of you! 🎉 🤙🏼 - Kumu Paul Tavai #paullattadancers #polynesian #dance #yvr #hula #aloha #oritahiti #dance #vancouverdance #polynesiandance #aloha #surrey #surreyartscentre #surreydancefest #surreydancefestival #dancecompetition #danse
