LAS VEGAS… J’ARRIVE!!

‘Ano mai! Come weave with me at the Silverton Casino, immediately after the competition (day 1, on 9/13) ends. Bring a pair of scissors, a big sewing needle & a roll of Pae’ore (lauhala) with you. If you don’t have any Pae’ore I’ll have some for sale that day. Thank you to my sis & cousin for bringing culture to 702!

Excited to weave with you all soon! 😘

URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT:

With heavy 💕 we’d like to share the news: it’s the end of an era for us!

We will be offering a few workshops & I (Vairea) will be judging a 1-2 more competitions this year but as of this September, we will no longer offer our services for costume orders, language translation or tumu parau (theme/storywriting).

We truly thank you all for your love & support on this near-decade long journey. Māuruuru & fa’aitoito to all ✨

Love, the TUPANA-SAMN family (Vairea & Ryan) ✌🏽

Te Ihi O Te Aranui’s Mock Fete was designed for a panel of judges to give real time feedback after watching lines of soloists.

Each soloist also had a chance to read handwritten essays about their experience creating their costumes & then performing a solo routine on their own.

Māuruuru maita’i & Pupu ‘Ori for inviting me to be part of the tōmite alongside Auntie Yo - my cousin & my bestie

I had a wonderful time sharing feedback & connecting with the dancers 🇵🇫

I’m so excited for this new partnership ✨

Our family is bringing the Australes (Tuha’a Pae) culture to the 702 for this year’s ‘Ori Tahiti Las Vegas 2025!

Directly after the day ends on Saturday, 9/13 - both our weaving & drumming workshops are taking place ❤️‍🔥

🙌🏽 Rima’ī By Vai - come learn Rara’a (Traditional Weaving) at my workshop! Together we’ll learn how to weave hatua (a belt like item used as the base for many dance costumes). This workshop emphasizes the value of Pae’ore in Polynesian culture & the importance of guarding ancestral weaving techniques.

🥁 Rohi Pehe - my Uncle Tutu is offering an educational drumming workshop which features the history & technique of several pehe that share roots in Rurutu & the Cook Island region.

‘ANO MAI! Head over to to register!! Can’t wait to see you all there ✨✨

‘Ia ora te nūna’a ☺️

Thinking of taking my workshops online or in-person?

These are the 3 essential items you need to weave with me!

RARA’A takes swift fingers, attentive eyes, a sharp brain & a strong back to sit through it - other than that, a 🔪✂️🪡 are your best friends.

For PAE’ORE, I recommend buying it on Etsy! Since Etsy is an American site, searching “PAE’ORE” won’t give you many results. I suggest searching the Hawaiian name “Lauhala” & you should find plenty of it available.

More weaving workshops to be announced soon, stay tuned 🥰

‘ia ora te nūna’a!

Have a costume to complete for competition but don’t know how or where to begin? Let’s make hatua together using pae’ore! Woven hatua are not only belt for the waist but belt as a headband for hei ‘ūpo’o (headpiece) as well!

My online workshop is available for you to join me from anywhere in the 🌎!! ‘Ano mai (come on)! Don’t panic for your costume, fa’aitoito (have courage/keep at it), I’ll help you start things out clean 😁

Grateful to the Bay Area Pacific Islander / Polynesian community, especially all my Samoan & Tongan family who have always embraced me (the authentic me) & my REAL Mā’ohi culture! Rara’a & Rima’ī are at the heart of this. Thank you so much again Lauleva .pasefika for having me tonight! I enjoyed my time weaving with you all!
