Polynesian dance is a celebrated art form across several local Islands from New Zealand to Hawaii. The most famous style of Polynesian dance is the Hula, but did you know that there are two kinds? Monarchy is the 19th century interpretation which takes into account many western influences and the Ai Kahiko is the traditional ancient (ah-low-ha) style Hula. Hawaiian

JINGERRI
(jing-ga-rri) Yugambeh tribe, original custodians of the Logan and Gold Coast region
The Logan City area, was a known intersection for two major language groups of the indigenous people, the Yugambeh and the Jagerra. Whilst the precise territorial boundaries of the tribes are open for debate, it is believed the people who spoke the Yugambeh language were represented to the South and the East of the Logan River. The Gugingin, were one of the eight families of Yugambeh, and are believed to have lived the closest to Logan City as we know it today.

TAFOMA (ta-foh-ma) Samoan
Did you know Samoan is the most common non English language spoken in Logan? Fa’a Samoa or the Samoan way is over 3,000 years old and is a complex cultural code that guides and teaches individuals how to lead their life and attain happiness. Among the core values of Fa’a Samoa are respect for the environment, a close knit family and community structure and adherence to traditional values. It’s no wonder that the Samoans are known throughout Polynesia as the “happy” people. Like Viko (pictured right) their enjoyment of life and their goodspirited nature is apparent in all that they do.
