She was miss Samoa and miss South Pacific in the 90s and this woman still look young and the same.. Such a beautiful smart lady.

A true tamaitai Samoa. Us here in Samoa should always practice our siva Samoa, we are more into the western culture, too much tik tok but can't even do the siva Samoa 🤦‍♀️ thank you Mary Jane

Samoan culture is so beautiful!

I know

I'm adopted in a Samoan family and I absolutely love to Siva Samoa. It's how I express myself emotionally and as an adopted girl in a Samoan culture.

@@Virky404 I second that question. Most Samoans adopt other Samoans or poly kids. Some people just join in because they love the people and culture.

Thank you:)) My Samoan neighbors just knocked on the door to wish me Merry Christmas and give me tons of food. So, I went down to the whole family and said, "I have learned 2 more Samoan words". Grandma asked what they were. So, I said mo'emo'e and ifo while doing all the steps and they laughed so hard. Turns out they were literally just teaching their little girls the dance for a wedding next week. And grandma kept telling one little girl, "See how he's doing it. Look to one side, then the other". And when I looked in the mirror, I scored major points!! Thank you!!!!! Samoans are the best!

The most accurate thing anyone in the Islander culture is "or if your mom throws you in the Siva last minute for a fundraiser"😂that hits hard from home

Im marrying into a Samoan family this year and this will be perfect to surprise my partner with at the wedding! Thank you! 💕

Finally someone who really knows the siva samoa

For those asking what song she dances to at the very end, it is from the song "Pei oa uma - Marina Davis"

What a privilege it is to have her teaching our girls/women how to siva samoa

one of the best trips i have made in life was the trip to samoa when i was 23 :) great times! still have vivid memories of the times in samoa

She's so pretty and elegant.

Thank you for taking the time explain the dance for we foreigners to understand and appreciate the dance even more.

Best of the best, our very own MJ😊😍

my mama be blastin this song in the beginning every time she makes breakfast and we always end up dancing.

Her explanations of the various movements tell such an interesting story. From now on, every time I see this lovely dance, the movements will have real meaning. Thanks for posting this most interesting video...much appreciated!!

Great Daughter of Samoa. God bless you always Mary Jane

Such an impressive demonstration of a Samoan siva - well done to this gorgeous young lady!

Beautiful Mary Jane, thanks for the lesson!

I have always loved the look of the type of dance, but I always wanted to know what it meant. Thank you for explaining what all the movements meant. Great job and very enjoyable to watch.

finally a samoan siva class! I am a piece of wood ahahaha I need to learn before going back to samoa for christmas!

Putting it all together at the end made me cry soo hard. When i was younger, my family had a siva “business” where ppl would hire us to dance at their wedding, etc. and i was never very good at it. Then all my family but us moved to Utah and I never danced again :( my mom tried teaching us when we were teenagers but i move like a stick now

Definitely going to help me surprise my partner.... Just started learning ♥️♥️.

Nicely done!

The one and only Mary Jane🔥🔥👍❤️

So elegant and beautiful

Thank you Mary Jane for teaching the siva Samoa now my granddaughter 7 year old now she knows how to siva Samoa God bless you Mary Jane 🌸🌺🌼🙏❤️❤️

I'm half samoa and half Fiji and I'm 9 years old I don't know how to dance and I want to but I can't and I'm in the UK enyway you are very good at it is she

Can’t believe we basically watched Miss Samoa since she was younger.. her mom has the best fa’ataupati in a siva Samoa ever!! I think that’s where her daughter got it from…

I met her today she was so nice

this was a life saver, i dont know any moves and i have a phobia of dancing lol so this really helped me get ready before my grandpas family night, he was happy with the way i did it so thank you for this video 😁😁
