The 128th Heiva I Tahiti opened on the 5th of June in the Paofai gardens of Papeete.

The organizing committee wanted this event to be different from the previous years and had 300 dancers who gave a magnificent performance!

The choreographer this year honored the older dances, something that hasn’t been done since the 1960’s.

It is a great moment for all the competitors and the public who could see the show before the dance competition opening Mid July.
