The beautiful, the loving, the talented. Natalia Louvat. Our Team was lucky enough to Travel to Tahiti, again, and followed dancers very closely, Sadly, we were not able to visit and follow this beautiful Vahine, Natalia. She was in France with family during the summer of 2019. Yet, we were told of many wonderful stories about her and her journey through 'Ori Tahiti.

Natalia started at a young age of 3, learning 'ori tahiti, and has never stopped since. Natalia has fallen in love with her Tahitian Culture and has shared it through many competitions, shows and classes at her very own Dance School. Today, at the age of 20, Natalia has her own Dance School and enjoys working with students and sharing her love for her culture, with all of them.

Natalia won the 2018 'Ori Tahiti Nui Competition, and rightly so. With her love for her culture and the knowledge she has garnered during her journey with Great Cultural Teachers from Tahiti. She has earned her way up the ranks of Tahitian Teachers for today's society. Natalia having begun with Makau Foster, at Tamariki Poerani, Natalia has worked with the best. Now dancing with Professional Performing Dance Company, Tahiti Ora, Natalia continues to share her culture, not only through her school, but through performances every Friday night and Japan Tours.

Our Team chose Natalia to start our Faarapu Friday Features because she has definitely earned the spot. One of our Ambassadors had a chat with her and reported back with nothing but kindness from their chats. She is excited to see us in January and we are hoping to do some projects with her in Tahiti. Good luck with al of your endeavors Natalia, we will always support you and your journey through 'Ori Tahiti.

From our Team to you Natalia!! You are our Faarapu Friday Feature #1. Ia Ora Na. Bisous. Merci d'avoir partager notre couture avec le monde.
