I think Polynesian dancing is such a beautiful art, so would love to hear from folks that do Polynesian dance, or want to learn the dances, or just like watching the hip and coconut bra action. 
Turn your speakers on for Meki's Tamure Polynesian Dance Group.
Check out the Polynesian Cultural Center for more dance information.
You can get some Instructional Dance Videos which cover a variety of dancing styles.
I one of those people that have way to many calories on board (aka fat) so got some Hual instructional DVDs and maybe I can knock off a pound or two...LOL
I know Mrs. DrTikiMoJo is a Bellydancer, so maybe we can get her to stop by and post some fun intel.

I did a Maori Hakka dance class last year, it was great fun and i don't think I've sweated so much in ages.
If it was possible to do it all the time I'd defiantly do it as a fitness thing.

i got the cd on hols in Las Vegas from a tiki shop there in the aladdin - its got a lovely fold-out with picture instructions in it.... its a great album too, i was listening to it on my walk to work this morning!
also - not quite tiki but still related, if you like 60s go-go dance - i've got these GO-GO ROBICS DVDs (the world famous pontani sisters dance with Los Straitjackets - fabulous surf guitar band!!), they're good fun ! :
Go-go-go!

If you're in northern California, dig hula and want to learn check out the E Pili Kakou happening this weekend at the Radison in Sacramento. World class Kumu Hula's from Hawaii and Tahiti teach a variety of interest and skill levels to beginners and experienced dancers alike. It's a three day event starting this Friday 5/25. It's basically an immersion into the art for 3 days and it's the only one of its kind on the mainland (Kauai is where the other E Pili Kakou is held in January). It's strictly non-competitive as the Kumu Hula's emphasize the spiritual side of hula.

Try this CD
Or this one
Great CD's. A Young lady from our church dances locally on Friday's and Saturday's at the Hong Kong Inn in Ventura CA. Her mother is from Samoa and she uses these CD's and others to Practice with.
