Pilialoha Gaison performs a Tahitian dance as Miss Hawaii 2007. The preliminary rounds included the bikini parade and a performance by contestants.
When I was younger I used to perform in a night club doing Cook Island dancing which is similar to Tahitian dancing.
Tahitian dancing is overtly sexual in nature and was banned when the missionaries first went to Tahiti.
Although good with melody and harmony rhythm isn’t hugely natural for me but I managed to bluff my way playing drums and also dancing.
Pilialoha Gaison of Kaneohe is a business management major at Hawaii Pacific University, and wants to be an entrepreneur in the resort industry
she actually placed in the top ten.. and won the preliminary talent for her night. she was a crowd favorite and most argue should’ve been placed higher
