The Tahiti Ora Ballet, under the expert leadership of Tumata Robinson, assisted by manager Roland Garrigou, are a dance troupe whose male and female members, to the beat of stunning Polynesian percussions and distinctive harmonies, featuring dazzling costumes and adornments worthy of the greatest royal enthronements, present us with sumptuous tableaux vivants.

"Ora" in Tahitian means "Life", a life infused with beauty, sweetness and generosity.
