The Sasa

As a transfer task for Celebration, we had to present a song or dance from another culture to our whanau. Our class has been learning the Sasa, a Samoan dance. Generally the sasa is performed by a large group of people, it is normally performed sitting down, but there are parts of the dance which require the group to stand up. Every Sasa is different, some movements have never changed, however nowadays, more contemporary moves are now being added to the Sasa.
In groups we created our own actions and then as a class we chose some of the best actions from each group. We put these moves together to create a class Sasa.
