Vahine Ori Tahiti is an association in Biarritz, France, established in 2008 by Vaiata Maamatuiahutapu in order to promote Polynesian culture and teach Tahitian traditional dances. The association today has 54 dancers including two finalists in the international competition in Paris in 2015. Dancing classes take place in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere and last from 45 minutes to one hour. There are different classes for different age groups. The students learn two dancing styles: the aparima, in which dancers mimic scenes of everyday life with their hands. The otea is faster and the dancers move to the sounds of percussion instruments. Classes are held at Aristide Briand primary school in Anglet.
