Im sorry but this performance was difficult to watch! The choreography is so off and I have no idea what that (male) dancer is doing! Does the choreographer actually think this is show ready??? If you want to watch "proper" choreography, go and watch the schools who perform at the annual Aloha Fest Toronto festival! The performers there are tremendous!

oh braddah. what are you even saying? hawaiian pacific magic is a local dance school. these mall performances are a way to attract students. if you watched my other videos you wil see super young kids on stage who can barely do anything. but their parents are happy to pay for lessons to see them perform something in front of an audience.

@@georgeh8937 Watching keiki (children) perform is wonderful but they must be taught properly, whether they are keiki or senior kāne/wāhine dancers. If you are a senior dancer like these two are in this video, it's embarrassing to entire Polynesian culture! The foundation is not even in their performance and it's embarrassing. I'll be honest with you, I've seen this school perform a number of times and they are not a representation of the Polynesian culture. Again, if you want to watch a true representation, go watch the hālau (school) who perform at Aloha Fest Toronto at Mel Lastman Square.

@@georgeh8937 I'm glad you have been to Aloha Fest Toronto. It is a wonderful festival! The schools who perform at AlohaFest are traditional in their learning unlike Hawaiian Pacific Magic. Also it's NOT about high standards George! It's about doing the Hawaiian, Tahitian and Maori cultures justice and not making a mockery of their culture. Trust me, I'm not the only one who are very critical of Hawaiian Pacific Magic. Even Polynesians who live here in Toronto (small community) have been very critical of Hawaiian Pacific Magic.

@@localbraddah07 1) sounds like woke gatekeeping when you use the word "mockery". 2) which polynesian dance school in toronto performs at free festivals the way pacific magic does ?.
