Key Guidelines for Apprentices
Welcome to The Apprentices program at the Tahitian Dance Academy, Mauruuru and Manava! We are thrilled to have you join us. To ensure you have a rewarding and successful apprenticeship, please carefully review the following guidelines:
Advance Registration is Mandatory
Important Note: Apprentices are not permitted to register on the day of the class. Advance registration is mandatory due to the provision of music tracks that are essential for your pre-class preparation.
Same-day registration is unfortunately not possible!
The sooner you register, the sooner you will receive the two music tracks necessary for creating your routines.
Pre-Class Preparation: Crafting Your Routines
Upon registration, you will receive two music tracks. Your task is to create two distinct dance routines:
'Aparima Routine: A routine showcasing the graceful and expressive movements of the 'Aparima style.
'Ote'a Routine: A routine highlighting the energetic and dynamic rhythms of the 'Ote'a style.
Each routine should be between 1 to 2 minutes in length.
We encourage you to brainstorm ideas, explore different Tahitian dance styles, and let your creativity flow as you develop your routines. Consider incorporating traditional steps, innovative movements, and personal flair to make your routines unique and engaging.

THE JOURNEY
Tahiti to Los Angeles
Jazz and Modern Jazz instructor at Vital California from 1984 to 1994, based on teaching methods in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is home to several prestigious dance schools that offer comprehensive training in jazz and modern jazz. Notable among them is the JazzAntiqua Dance & Music Ensemble, founded by Pat Taylor in 1993. Taylor emphasizes the importance of jazz as a vital thread in African American history, integrating this perspective into her teaching philosophy. Her ensemble not only performs but also educates others about the significance of jazz dance.
Other institutions, such as California State University Long Beach, provide structured programs that blend technical training with creative expression. These programs are designed to prepare students for diverse careers in dance, emphasizing adaptability and versatility in performance.
