Let the sea winds carry you across the Pacific to an exotic tropical paradise – and never even leave your seat.
Let the sea winds carry you across the Pacific to an exotic tropical paradise – and never even leave your seat.
Rose Cason, director and choreographer of “A Touch of Polynesia,” and her brightly-costumed dance troupe will bring a taste of the central and southern Pacific Ocean indigenous peoples to Oak Knoll Park in Cypress.
Cason has over 40 years of experience, and she’s been teaching and promoting dances from the beautiful and exotic Polynesian islands of Hawaii, New Zealand and Tahiti.
The brilliantly colored costumes worn by her dancers reflect the beauty of nature found in Polynesia.
Polynesia embraces more than a thousand islands separated by hundreds of miles of open ocean but united by culture, including dance styles like the hula from Hawaii and Tahitian dance from French Polynesia. Dancers use their arms and hands as a way of communicating through dance.
Both Polynesian men and women dance as a social activity, but the choreography for males and females often differs strikingly.
A Touch of Polynesia has more than 30 performers, ranging in age from three years to over 60.
Come and enjoy “A Touch of Polynesia” performing dances from Hawaii, Tahiti and New Zealand on the Cypress Festival’s Main Stage.
The 2013 Cypress Community Festival, Orange County’s largest one-day festival, will be held Saturday, July 27, at Oak Knoll Park, 5700 Orange Ave. in Cypress. This popular event features exciting entertainment and fun for the whole family, from the Kiwanis pancake breakfast in the morning to the famous chili cook-off and car show, from the music and dancing on the stages to the Chamber of Commerce expo and the many vendor booths.
