Our resort put on a show where its employees danced. The fire dancer is from neighboring Fiji.

This group danced at one of the other hotels. Notice the tapa cloth behind the stage.

Tongans don't do any of the wild gyrating hip movements seen in Tahiti, at least we never saw any of it.

It's a tradition to stick paper money on the female dancer's bodies. It seemed very tacky to me.
