Title: Tahitian dancers in Montreal, Huge Pirate party in SF

LES GRANDS BALLETS DE TAHITI

Les Grands Ballets de Tahiti brings together traditional elements of percussion and song with a more contemporary approach to choreography and stage direction.

Place des Arts in Montreal on March 10 and 11, and at the Grand Théâtre de Québec in Quebec City on March 12.

Remember the good old days when a night on the town might have meant taking in a Polynesian floorshow at a local exotic nightspot? Grass skirts, drums, dancing? the whole bit? If you too pine for a form of entertainment that has not graced our city since the long gone heyday of Polynesian Pop Culture, here's a chance to experience something more authentic (and on a much larger scale) than anything any local Tiki joint could have ever slapped together on a Saturday night...

Les Grands Ballets de Tahiti - some 30 dancers, musicians and vocalists - are making their way over to our side of the big lagoon carrying steamer trunks filled with colourful costumes and exotic accessories. Frequent winners at dance festivals in their homeland, the troupe has performed their brand of Tahitian dance before crowds in Polynesia, Europe, the Orient, and the U.S.
