Book Reading #25 - Coming of Age in Samoa (Ch 8)

Summary:
This chapter introduces us to dance in the Samoan culture and its importance and impact on the people. Dance crosses all age and ex groups. IT is what gives the villagers the ability to express themselves freely. Being a bad dancer may have some negative effect as other may look down on you.


Discussion:
I would not have thought that the Samoans would put much emphasis on dancing. I think it was funny how there is this stigma if you are not a good dancer.
