TOLOA Polynesian Dance - DFW

TOLOA Polynesian Dance - DFW We welcome all who are dedicated & willing to learn the dances and music of our Polynesian ancestors Where does TOLOA come from? In Samoan, Toloa is a duck.

An old Samoan proverb states "E lele le toloa, ae ma'au i le vai." Translation: A duck will fly all over, but will always return to the water. Meaning: One would leave home, but will always return. For many of us, we are children of family members who left their home in the islands and crossed an ocean to an unknown country to look for a better life and opportunity for their children. Most of thos

e pioneers have never returned home, but their culture, love and traditions of their homeland have been passed down generations. It is for this reason, TOLOA was created - to preserve our culture and pass on our knowledge and legacy to the next generation. What will TOLOA offer it's members? TOLOA is committed to teaching and sharing Polynesian culture through music and dance. Our program is designed to teach proper techniques and styles from Samoa, Hawaii, New Zealand, Tonga and Tahiti, while instilling students with a sense of self-worth, pride, respect and appreciation for Polynesian cultures and traditions. We welcome all who are dedicated, open and willing to learn the dances and music of our ancestors and able to represent our culture with love, honor and respect. "May the wings of TOLOA always guide you home" - Jimmy, JR & Apoua Tonga

3 months ago, these beautiful faces decided to step out of their comfort zone & try something new 🤎
in just a short amount of time, they learned dances from the beautiful islands of the South Pacific & worked tirelessly to represent Samoa with humility, love & respect at this year's
so proud & grateful for each of them and everything they bring to .. watching their growth, dedication and love for our culture has been such a blessing
forever grateful for the privilege to teach & represent our culture 🌺🏝️☀️
