| Samoa - Dance (499 words) |
 | Samoan dance is possibly the one area of Samoan culture which has been least affected by contact with western civilsation. |
| Whereas Samoan music has adopted guitars and other musical instruments, dance, which relies solely upon the performers body (with some exceptions - fire dance, knife dance, etc) still requires the performer to retain grace and move their arms and hands in the approved fashion. |
| Siva is the Samoan word for dance, but it also refers to a particular type of dance in which the performer usually stands and enacts an everday activity. |
