*Due to the age of the original film and the semi-professional videography, lighting and sound, these Maori and Tahitian programs have been combined onto one dvd for better value. The instructional quality is not affected on the Maori. The Tahitian performance section, however is overexposed and it is difficult to see the movements of the dancer. You may need the companion manual (#H06M) to follow along. (2-in-1 dvd = 55 minutes total)
