Samoan Fia Fia Night

One of the nights that we were delayed in samoa we had a chance to see a Traditional Samoan Fia Fia. A good thing that came out of the delay as I wanted to see this awesome traditional dance! This is basically the Polynesian dances that you have seen in movies. This one has the men and women dancing together on the stage while there are loud drums playing in the background. All in all, it was about 1 and a half hours of dancing and this is what started it.

After this the lights when down and the fire dancers came out for their portion of the show. It was SO SO cool to see their talents!! They had to warn the front row just in case the fire spread... it never did and they looked in complete control the whole time. A few of the men barely looked over 16 years old!!

A really cool evening to remember!
