History of the Taualuga

One of most treasured heritage art forms in the Pacific is our dance – and expression of our social roles, status, our joy for life and our soul. In Samoa and Tonga one of the most revered dances is the Taualuga – the dance of life.

"The taualuga is the final touch to all the fiafia, the taualuga is the same word that they give to the top part of the fale.  You know when it's there that means the whole thing is finished" - Va'asiliifiti Moelagi Jackson
