Dance of Rotuma
Rotuman dance refers to the traditional and modern dance styles used by the people of the island of Rotuma, a Polynesian island that became a dependency of Fiji in 1881. The Rotuman people are identified as being culturally Polynesian, with a history intertwined with Samoan, Tongan, and Fijian influence, although Rotuma's relative remoteness (approximately 465 kilometres north of Fiji) ensures that the island still maintains major linguistic, historical and cultural distinctions from its neighbours.
