Palau Contemporary Dance

Here's a short video of Aisai and her friends in Susanville, California dancing together a Palauan contemporary dance, known as the 'matamatong'. This dance is usually taught to kids in elementary school and a fun activity for them to learn the language and dance as a group. Essentially, it's a dance about a person calling to an elder woman/women to watch them dance, how well they move around...and show off when they have an audience.

Enjoy!
