So tonight we went into a local hotel that has a really good traditional native dance troupe and watched as they jiggled and wiggled (girls) and thrusted (boys) ... and the drumming was amazing too.
The dancing is mostly a sexually based dance, where the women smile and show off their long hair which is considered the most beautiful aspects of a woman here,
and the men dance to “shake the male appendage” in appreciation of all the wiggling that the girls are doing, (and general "showing off")
Different islands have slightly different styles of dress and different styles of drumming but essentially it’s very similar and great fun to watch.
