Echoes of Polynesia presents a selection from the rich and varied cultures of Polynesia while stressing the role of the Pacific island environment in shaping those cultures.

We begin in the far north of the Polynesian Triangle in our 50th state, the Hawai'ian Islands, with several versions of the familiar Hula, including one that the students learn while seated in the audience. Next is a trip over the wide expanse of the Pacific to the islands of New Zealand. Here we learn about a different style of life and dance among the original inhabitants of the New Zealand, the Maori people. We conclude the program with a visit to Tahiti where students are brought on stage to learn a traditional dance.

Authentic musical instruments and costumes are used throughout the performance to stress the importance of natural resources in the life of the Pacific peoples.
