yes, i am currently studying it. there r 4 types of Tahitian dances - Ote'a, Aparima (both of them r the most popular),hivinau, and Paoa. Ote'a has very fast hip shaking movements, but Aparima is much slower. Ote'a is also performed either by a group of male dancers (o'te'a tane), or by women only (o'te'a vahine) or mixed (o'te'a amui). Aparima uses to illustrate every day life scene, the aparima vava is performed seated and not sung.
The aparima himene is danced and sung, acompanied by the guitar, ukulele and pahu.
