About: Hivinau

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The hivinau is a dance from Tahiti where the dancers turn in pairs around the orchestra. It is often either the first or the last dance of a dance festival or used as a transition between two dances. Although an old dance, it is not traditional, the name hivinau probably derived from a yell by the officers of any passing European ship: "Heave now!", and the subsequent turning of the wheel with anchor chain by the crew.

dbo:abstract
  • The hivinau is a dance from Tahiti where the dancers turn in pairs around the orchestra. It is often either the first or the last dance of a dance festival or used as a transition between two dances. Although an old dance, it is not traditional, the name hivinau probably derived from a yell by the officers of any passing European ship: "Heave now!", and the subsequent turning of the wheel with anchor chain by the crew. The dance has two circles, one of men, another of women, turning around the centre axis where the orchestra sits, as whether the anchor is to be heaved. Every time a male and female dancer meet each other, they turn to each other, yell: "Hiri, haʻa, haʻa" and may perform some knee or hip shakes respectively. (en)
  • Le hivinau est l'une des danses traditionnelles de Tahiti en Polynésie française, liée au 'Ori Tahiti. C'est une danse joyeuse et mixte, où les danseurs évoluent en cercles concentriques, tourbillonnent et s'entrecroisent. Le chef de groupe, ra'atira, a un rôle de meneur, et déclame d'une voix forte le récit, auquel les danseurs répondent par des Hiria ha'a, hiria ha'a ha'a distinctifs du hivinau. Les costumes et l'orchestration, à base de percussions auxquelles s'ajoutent parfois le ukulele, sont les mêmes que pour l'’ote'a. (fr)
