Review on the Mana The Spirit of Polynesia

Review on Mana The Spirit of Polynesia Show
On Friday the 9th of May In Room 8 at Karoro School we saw a performance called Mana - The Spirit of Polynesia. It was a good show I enjoyed it. Bernard Mangakahia was talented and nice. The things that he did was Poi, a Hoop Dance, Haka, Hawaiian lava lava, Hip Hop, a moko (Māori patterns on face), Sign Language. He also asked for volunteers and I was one of them and a lot of people volunteered and that was good because you could see how much people want to help.

Bernard Mangakahia told us how Native American Indians used  30 to 40 hoops for the hoop dance. It took Bernard 10 years to learn how to dance with 7 hoops for the hoop dance. Some of the parts of the performance were funny and some of the parts weren’t funny. 

Bernard was born in Malaysia and his mum was born in East Africa. He did the performance because he was telling us about all the different cultures and dances from different places. The culture that I was most interested in was the Native American Indians. This show was pretty good I enjoyed it.
