Description

Samoa has a long history of Siva afi or firedancing. Originally a knife dance using the Nifo Oti, it's grown into an activity that is done all over the world and every year there are World Champs run in Hawai'i. Leota Lene Leota teaches the art of Siva Sfi in samoa and came to NZ to share some of his knowledge through workshops as Tagaloatele Osone Okesene reports.
